Scientific Computing with Python Projects - Budget App

[vishalpatel99787]

Tell us what’s happening:
when I call ‘transfer’ method, I get error like this…

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Users\visha\Desktop\Python\budget.py”, line 69, in
food.transfer(200,‘clothing’)
File “C:\Users\visha\Desktop\Python\budget.py”, line 39, in transfer
descrip.deposit(amt, f"Transfer from {self.category}")
AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘deposit’

because of this error I am able to add ‘Transfer to [Category]’ entry, but not able to make entry in the Category where I am transferring.

Your code so far
def transfer(self,amt = 0.0,descrip = ‘’):
if Category.check_funds(self,self.amount) == True:
self.withdraw(amt,('Transfer to '+ descrip))
descrip.deposit(amt, f"Transfer from {self.category}")
# Category(self.category).ledger.append({“amount”: (amt), “description”: 'Transfer from ’ + self.category})
# self.ledger.append({“amount”: -(amt), “description”: transfer_category})
return True
else:
return False

is telling you to look at this bit of your code

@vishalpatel99787

    def transfer(self,amt = 0.0,descrip = ‘’):
        if Category.check_funds(self,self.amount) == True:
            self.withdraw(amt,('Transfer to '+ descrip))
            descrip.deposit(amt, f"Transfer from {self.category}")

Why do you use self.withdraw() then descrip.deposit(), especially since you said descrip should default to the empty string in your function definition (def transfer(self,amt = 0.0,descrip = ‘’))?

Strings don’t have a deposit method. That would be part of the class you are defining for the project.

Also, either format with code blocks as previously mentioned or place your code in a repl (preferably replit.com) and post a link to make it easier for people to help.
