Build an Apply Discount Function - Build an Apply Discount Function

Tell us what’s happening:

All but the final test [apply_discount(74.5, 20.0)] worked. I can’t figure out why all but the last one work. I’ve checked to be sure the price and discount are int/float, but it’s still not working. Help!

Your code so far

price = 50
discount = 20

def apply_discount(price, discount):
    if isinstance(price, int)==False or isinstance(price, float):
        return "The price should be a number"
    elif isinstance(discount, int)==False or isinstance(discount, float):
        return "The discount should be a number"
    elif price<=0:
        return "The price should be greater than 0"
    elif discount<0 or discount>100:
        return "The discount should be between 0 and 100"
    else:
        return(price - ((price*discount)/100))
    
apply_discount(100, 20)
apply_discount(200, 50)
apply_discount(50, 0)
apply_discount(24796782564, 100)
apply_discount(74.5, 20.0)

Welcome to the forum @ksa99

Add the follow print call to the end of the editor:

print(apply_discount(74.5, 20.0))

Happy coding

I figured it out! For any future people stuck on this problem, I forgot to set isinstance(discount, float)==False. Here’s my final code:
