Question

what am I missing?

this should be the output:

(B)udget, (D)aily, or (W)eekly rental?

B

Starting Odometer Reading:

Ending Odometer Reading:

1234

2222

988

247.00

my output is this:

(B)udget, (D)aily, or (W)eekly rental?

Starting Odometer Reading:

Ending Odometer Reading:

1234

2222

988

247.00

here's my code so far:

import sys
'''
Section 1: Collect customer input
'''
#Add customer input 1 here,
rentalCode = input("(B)udget, (D)aily, or (W)eekly rental?")

#Collect Customer Data - Part 2

#4)Collect Mileage information:
##a) Prompt the user to input the starting odometer reading and store it as the variable odoStart

#Prompt -->"Starting Odometer Reading:\n"
odoStart = input("Starting Odometer Reading:\n")

##b) Prompt the user to input the ending odometer reading and store it as the variable odoEnd

#Prompt -->"Ending Odometer Reading:"
odoEnd = input("Ending Odometer Reading:\n")

#c) Calculate total miles

print(int(odoStart))
print(int(odoEnd))
totalMiles = (int(odoEnd) - int(odoStart))
print(int(totalMiles))

# Calculate Charges 2

##   Calculate the mileage charge and store it as
# the variable mileCharge:

#a)   Code 'B' (budget) mileage charge: $0.25 for each mile driven
if rentalCode == 'B':
mileCharge = float(totalMiles) * 0.25

#b)   Code 'D' (daily) mileage charge: no charge if the average
# number of miles driven per day is 100 miles or less;
# i)   Calculate the averageDayMiles (totalMiles/rentalPeriod)

# ii)   If averageDayMiles is above the 100 mile per day
# limit:
# (1)   calculate extraMiles (averageDayMiles - 100)
# (2)   mileCharge is the charge for extraMiles,
# $0.25 for each mile
if rentalCode == 'D' :
averageDayMiles = float(totalMiles)/float(rentalPeriod)
if(float(averageDayMiles)) <= 100:
extraMiles = 0
  
elif extraMiles == float(averageDayMiles) - 100:
mileCharge = (.25 * float(extraMiles)) * float(rentalPeriod)

#c)   Code 'W' (weekly) mileage charge: no charge if the
# average number of miles driven per week is
# 900 miles or less;

# i)   Calculate the averageWeekMiles (totalMiles/ rentalPeriod)

# ii)   mileCharge is $100.00 per week if the average number of miles driven per week exceeds 900 miles
elif rentalCode == 'W':
averageWeekMiles = float(totalMiles)/float(rentalPeriod)
if averageWeekMiles <= 900:
mileCharge = 0
else:
mileCharge = 100 * float(rentalPeriod)
  
print("%.2f"%mileCharge)

Answer 1

In order to get the required output, changes to your code are made while taking input to rentalCode, odoStart and odoEnd .

CODE:

import sys
'''
Section 1: Collect customer input
'''
#Add customer input 1 here,
rentalCode = input("(B)udget, (D)aily, or (W)eekly rental?\n") #Add backslash n

#Collect Customer Data - Part 2

#4)Collect Mileage information:
##a) Prompt the user to input the starting odometer reading and store it as the variable odoStart

#Prompt -->"Starting Odometer Reading:\n"
odoStart = input("Starting Odometer Reading:") #Remove backslash n

##b) Prompt the user to input the ending odometer reading and store it as the variable odoEnd

#Prompt -->"Ending Odometer Reading:"
odoEnd = input("Ending Odometer Reading:") #Remove backslash n

#c) Calculate total miles

print(int(odoStart))
print(int(odoEnd))
totalMiles = (int(odoEnd) - int(odoStart))
print(int(totalMiles))


# Calculate Charges 2

##   Calculate the mileage charge and store it as
# the variable mileCharge:

#a)   Code 'B' (budget) mileage charge: $0.25 for each mile driven
if rentalCode == 'B':
    mileCharge = float(totalMiles) * 0.25

#b)   Code 'D' (daily) mileage charge: no charge if the average
# number of miles driven per day is 100 miles or less;
# i)   Calculate the averageDayMiles (totalMiles/rentalPeriod)

# ii)   If averageDayMiles is above the 100 mile per day
# limit:
# (1)   calculate extraMiles (averageDayMiles - 100)
# (2)   mileCharge is the charge for extraMiles,
# $0.25 for each mile
if rentalCode == 'D' :
    averageDayMiles = float(totalMiles)/float(rentalPeriod)
    if(float(averageDayMiles)) <= 100:
        extraMiles = 0
    elif extraMiles == float(averageDayMiles) - 100:
        mileCharge = (.25 * float(extraMiles)) * float(rentalPeriod)

#c)   Code 'W' (weekly) mileage charge: no charge if the
# average number of miles driven per week is
# 900 miles or less;

# i)   Calculate the averageWeekMiles (totalMiles/ rentalPeriod)

# ii)   mileCharge is $100.00 per week if the average number of miles driven per week exceeds 900 miles
elif rentalCode == 'W':
    averageWeekMiles = float(totalMiles)/float(rentalPeriod)
    if averageWeekMiles <= 900:
        mileCharge = 0
    else:
        mileCharge = 100 * float(rentalPeriod)
        
        
print("%.2f"%mileCharge)

OUTPUT:
