Tell us what’s happening:

My code meets every story except 7-11, yet I am getting all the desired outputs. Is there any problem with my code that I can improve?

Your code so far

def apply_discount(price,discount):
     if not isinstance(price,(int,float)):
          return("The price should be a number")
     
     elif not isinstance(discount,  (int, 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:
          discount = (price*(discount/100))
          
     
     print(price - discount)

apply_discount(100, 20)
apply_discount(200, 50)
apply_discount(50, 0)
apply_discount(20, 100)
apply_discount(74.5, 20.0)

Welcome to the forum @flaredoescoding,

The function should return the final price after applying the discount.

What does your function return?

To print what your function returns, please wrap your function call(s) in print().

Happy coding

It still does not work after I put all 5 inside all print()'s needed, unless I am misinterpreting what you are saying.

Please post your updated code, formatted as follows:

There are two ways you can format your code to make it easier to read and test:

  1. After you copy/paste your code into the editor, select it by dragging your cursor over it then click the (</>) button in the toolbar to automatically wrap your code in backticks. (You can click on the animated demo image below to enlarge it.)

  1. Manually add three backticks on a new line above your code and on a new line after your code. Note that a backtick is NOT the same as a single quote('). To find the backtick key on your keyboard, see this post.

To see changes to your post as you make them, you can click the (M+) button on the toolbar to bring up the rich text editor:

Oh, sorry!

def apply_discount(price,discount):
     if not isinstance(price,(int,float)):
          return("The price should be a number")
     
     elif not isinstance(discount,  (int, 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:
          discount = (price*(discount/100))
          
     
     print(price - discount)

print(apply_discount(100, 20))
print(apply_discount(200, 50))
print(apply_discount(50, 0))
print(apply_discount(20, 100))
print(apply_discount(74.5, 20.0))

Your function still is not returning anything. It’s just printing something.
