Question

I am completing a rental car project in python. I am having syntax errors returned. currently on line 47 of my code "averageDayMiles = totalMiles/daysRented" my entire code is as follows:

#input variable
rentalCode = input("(B)udget , (D)aily , (W)eekly rental? \n")
if(rentalCode == "B"):
rentalPeriod = int(input("Number of hours rented?\n"))
if(rentalCode == "D"):
rentalPeriod = int(input("Number of days rented?\n"))
if(rentalCode == "W"):
rentalPeriod = int(input("Number of weeks rented?\n"))
rentalPeriod = daysRented
return rentalCode , rentalPeriod

budget_charge = 40.00
daily_charge = 60.00
weekly_charge = 190.00

#if, elif, else branch
if(rentalCode == "B"):
print(baseCharge = rentalPeriod * 40.00)
elif(rentalCode == "D"):
print(baseCharge = rentalPeriod * 60.00)
else:
print(baseCharge = rentalPeriod * 190.00)

print(rentalCode)
print(rentalPeriod)

#If, elif, else branch
if(rentalCode == "B"):
print(baseCharge = budgetCharge * rentalPeriod)
elif(rentalCode == "D"):
print(baseCharge = dailyCharge * rentalPeriod)
else:
print(baseCharge = weeklyCharge * rentalPeriod)

#input variables
odoStart = int(input("Starting Odometer Reading:\n"))
odoEnd = int(input("Ending Odometer Reading:\n"))
totalMiles = (odoEnd - odoStart)
#command=print
print(odoStart)
print(odoEnd)

#input variable
mileCharge = int(input(totalMiles * 0.25)
#inputvariables and if, else'
#averageDayMiles
averageDayMiles = totalMiles/daysRented
extraMiles = averageDayMiles - 100
if(averageDayMiles <= 100):
print(0)
else:
print(extramiles)

#input variable and if else
averageWeekMiles = input(totalMiles/rentalPeriod)
if(averageWeekMiles > 900):
mileCharge = 100.00/week
else:
milecharge = 0.00

#
print('Rental Summary')
print('Rental Code: '+str(rentalCode))
print('Days Rented: '+str(rentalPeriod))
print('Starting Odometer: ' + (odoStart))
print('Ending Odometer: ' + (odoEnd))
print('Miles Driven: '+str(totalMiles))
print('Amount Due: $'+ "%.2f"%(amtDue))   
  

what is wrong with this?

Answer 1

First thing i'm using python 2.7 i have implemented code using raw_input to take input

(instead of input i'm using raw_input) please go to bottom to get whole code of program

I also submitted output of program please go through it for better understanding.

Problems in above code are as follows -

1) Intendetion should be proper .Intendetion is important in python it sholud like below code.

if(rentalCode == "B"):
rentalPeriod = int(input("Number of hours rented?\n"))
if(rentalCode == "D"):
rentalPeriod = int(input("Number of days rented?\n"))
if(rentalCode == "W"):

2) You can not return two values in else statement and another problem is

if(rentalCode == "W"):
rentalPeriod = int(input("Number of weeks rented?\n"))
rentalPeriod = daysRented #here you assigning daysRented variable value rentalPeriod but unfortunately you haven't declare  
return rentalCode , rentalPeriod #In case you can want print this variable value you can print it outside the else

rentalCode = raw_input("(B)udget , (D)aily , (W)eekly rental? \n")
if(rentalCode == "B"):
rentalPeriod = int(raw_input("Number of hours rented?\n"))
if(rentalCode == "D"):
rentalPeriod = int(raw_input("Number of days rented?\n"))
if(rentalCode == "W"):
rentalPeriod = int(raw_input("Number of weeks rented?\n"))

print(rentalPeriod) #outside else condition
print(rentalCode)   #outside else condition

3) You have declare three variables in your code

budget_charge = 40.00
daily_charge = 60.00
weekly_charge = 190.00

You have use budgetCharge , dailyCharge and  rentalPeriod in your code but this variable are not declare in code

print(baseCharge = budgetCharge * rentalPeriod)

print(baseCharge = dailyCharge * rentalPeriod)

print(baseCharge = rentalPeriod * 190.00)

solution for this -

You should write above code in this format with variable name change you can use

budget_charge = 40.00
daily_charge = 60.00
weekly_charge = 190.00

baseCharge = budget_charge * rentalPeriod

baseCharge = daily_charge * rentalPeriod

baseCharge = weekly_charge * 190.00

print(baseCharge)

Your code will look like this .

4) The mail issue that you have mention in question error on line number 47

You have written below statement on line number 47

averageDayMiles = totalMiles/daysRented

but if you observed there is input statement just above this line and that line missing a closing parenthesis

mileCharge = int(raw_input(totalMiles * 0.25) # this statement should be

mileCharge = int(raw_input(totalMiles * 0.25)) # please observed closing parenthesis ( ')' ) at the end

5) In your code

mileCharge = 100.00/week

You have 'week' variable but i haven't seen any variable named week in your code i think it should be rentalPeriod to calculate mile charge.

mileCharge = 100.00/rentalPeriod #it should like this and

6) In Your code

print('Amount Due: $'+ "%.2f"%(amtDue))   

In above statement amtDue variable is not declared in your program i don't know how your calculating this but it will through error if variable is not declared .

so i commented that statement in below final code
