Message: [QUOTE="Chris Angelico, post: 5093509"] Let me reword your problem a little, maybe it'll be a bit clearer. You're trying to calculate the total value of all stock on hand, eg for insurance purposes. That's not 24 bananas, that's $24 of bananas. And the part you want now is to get the total value of your entire stock. Great! You're very close to there... .... you just need to accumulate a sum. Since this is almost certainly homework, I won't give you the answer, but here are a few pointers: * You'll need a single variable (I use the term sloppily, Python doesn't actually have variables per se) which will collect the final total. * Inside your loop, you're currently printing out an int/float with the value of the current item. Just add it onto your accumulator. * Python will happily work with integers and floats together, so you can just do what's obvious and it'll work. See where that takes you. Have fun! :) ChrisA [/QUOTE]
