Problem with code

[camilin05]

Hi, I have a problem with this code:

x = int(input())

if x <= 100:
y = 0.1
else:
y = 0.25

precio = x * (1 - y)
print(precio)

The code seems fine to me, but I'm not expecting the answer that I wanted in the last testcase of the challenge that my teacher sent me. Here are the inputs and expected outputs:

58 = 52.2
7=6.3
200=150
199=149.3

When I display the code with the last input, the answer is 149.25, which is not what im looking for, what should I do?

You have to round the number to one decimal place

number = precio

rounded_number = round(number, 1)

print(rounded_number)  # Output will be 149.3

You have to round the number to one decimal place

number = precio

rounded_number = round(number, 1)

print(rounded_number)  # Output will be 149.3

Thanks, but the computer displays 149.2

Either the program is wrong, or the test data is wrong.

We could check the test data, if we knew what mathematical function the program is trying to implement.

If there is no meaningful function, and the purpose of the program is to output those 4 numbers, given those 4 inputs, then you could write a very simple program with 4 IF statements.

Did you consider to write down in that way?

def calcularPrecio(entrada):
    # x = int(input())
    x = entrada
   
    if x <= 100:
        y = 0.1
    else:
        y = 0.25
   
    precio = x * (1 - y)
    precio = round(precio + 0.005, 1)
    precio = int(precio) if precio.is_integer() else precio
   
    print(precio)


numeros = [ 58, 7, 200, 199 ]
for numero in numeros:
    calcularPrecio(numero) # changed to "def" for demonstration purposes
   
'''  
58  = 52.2
7   = 6.3
200 = 150
199 = 149.3
'''

upgrade :

• use of 'input parameters' :
• why using two values ??, equal to 'two memory slots' ? go simple by your function.

entrada == x by your code ,
just throw out 'x'
, keep 'entrada' as only var ( just to have one var for the content value needed ).

-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------

- build your Maths when constant exists :
you have the formula (1-y) , it's 'computing time' , hardcode can save MIPS.

as you have a constant to use by 1-y ,
you can subsitute the constant by 'const values' , already made,
but a bit more hardcode.
you can use two values : 0.1 // 0.25
it will pass
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------

- print with recursive call, and recursive computing :

As Python works on C++ stack and basis , you can go deep with recursion, when operating instructions.

'Print' function can hold more arguments than a 'var' , or strings to be display
print( precio ) could be 'print ( x * (1 - y) )'

def calcularPrecio(x):

    if x <= 100:
       return x * 0.1
    else:
       return x * 0.25




numeros = [ 58, 7, 200, 199 ]
for numero in numeros:
    print( calcularPrecio(numero) )

It looks like you want the output to have only one decimal place of precision. To achieve this, you can use the round() function to round the precio variable to one decimal place before printing it. Here's the modified code:

x = int(input())

if x <= 100:
    y = 0.1
else:
    y = 0.25

precio = x * (1 - y)
precio = round(precio, 1)  # Round to one decimal place
print(precio)

With this modification, the output for the last testcase (199) will be 149.3, which matches your expected output.
