Build an Apply Discount Function - Build an Apply Discount Function

[dreedtechguy]

Tell us what’s happening:

I can not seem to see my error. It says that discount should return the string when not a number but its the same code for price and that resolves correctly

Your code so far

def apply_discount(price,discount):
    if isinstance(price,int) ==False or isinstance(price,float) ==False:
        return('The price should be a number')
    elif isinstance(discount,int) ==False or isinstance(discount,float) ==False:
        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:
        converted_discount = discount / 100
        return (price - converted_discount)

Hi @dreedtechguy

To help you debug, add the following print call to the editor:

print(apply_discount(50, 20))

Then add:

print(apply_discount(50, '20'))

Happy coding

Thank you, I have solved the problem!

Please help. I’ve done all I can to complete this script. I tested it in Python directly and it works perfectly. However, as I “Check your code”, I get an error. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

This is the successful results I get when using the exact same script directly in Python:
