Review

Play with this:

🛠 Fix the following code so that you can replicate the behavior from the program above 👆

  • Notice how the program below 👇 doesn't ask for the user to write anything on the terminal (the left box under Result)
  • And just straight prints whatever is hard-coded inside of the variable name
Time to work on our Class Project!

print("The following items are availabe at Bake Bar:")
print("Shortcakes at $1.5 per cake")
print("Macaron at $1 per piece")
print("Chocochip cookies at $1 per cookie")
print("") # leave a line before printing other info

shortcake = int(input("Enter the number of shortcakes you want "))
macaron = int(input("Enter the number of macarons you want "))

costCake = 1.5 * shortcake # calculate the money spent on shortcake
costMacaron = 1 * macaron # calculate the money spent on macarons
totalCost = costCake + costMacaron # calculate the total money spent on all 3 items

print("Bill amount for your shopping is " + str(totalCost))
