Learn Lambda Functions by Building an Expense Tracker - Step 52

Tell us what’s happening:

Invalid input terminates the program instead of handling it.
If i were to choose option 1 and enter anything other than an integer for amount the program breaks, how can i make it display the menu again instead of ending the program

Your code so far

def add_expense(expenses, amount, category):
    expenses.append({'amount': amount, 'category': category})
    
def print_expenses(expenses):
    for expense in expenses:
        print(f'Amount: {expense["amount"]}, Category: {expense["category"]}')
    
def total_expenses(expenses):
    return sum(map(lambda expense: expense['amount'], expenses))
    
def filter_expenses_by_category(expenses, category):
    return filter(lambda expense: expense['category'] == category, expenses)
    

def main():
    expenses = []
    while True:
        print('\nExpense Tracker')
        print('1. Add an expense')
        print('2. List all expenses')
        print('3. Show total expenses')
        print('4. Filter expenses by category')
        print('5. Exit')
       
        choice = input('Enter your choice: ')

        if choice == '1':
            amount = float(input('Enter amount: '))
            category = input('Enter category: ')
            add_expense(expenses, amount, category)

        elif choice == '2':
            print('\nAll Expenses:')
            print_expenses(expenses)
    
        elif choice == '3':
            print('\nTotal Expenses: ', total_expenses(expenses))
    
        elif choice == '4':
            category = input('Enter category to filter: ')
            print(f'\nExpenses for {category}:')
            expenses_from_category = filter_expenses_by_category(expenses, category)
            print_expenses(expenses_from_category)
        elif choice == '5':
            print('Exiting the program.')
            break
        else:
            print('Invalid input, please enter a valid option: ')

the error is from float. You could add a try/except to handle the error
