I just started with python class tho it's self taught and my first challenge is to write a program that calculate how much a $14,000 investment would be worth if it increased in value by 40% during the first year; lost $1500 in value the second year and increased 12% in the third year. Can anybody pls solve this for me?

Below is the screenshot of the one i did, i know i've been very lazy with algorithm and i would love someone to help with the normal calculation

but this is mine

print ("1. How much an investment of $14,000 would worth if it increased by 40% in it's 1st year"
investment= 14000 + 5600
print ("* 1st year investment would worth", investment )
print ("investment= 14000 + 5600(40%)=" , investment )
print ("2. investment lost $1,500 worth of value in it 2nd year"
investment= investment - 1500
print("invest lost in the second year which is $1500 "
print("investment worth= 18100 -", "1500 =", investment)
investment= investment + 2172
print ("value of the 3rd year increased by 12%"
print ("investment worth 18100 + 2172 =", investment )
print ("the Main balance of the investment is", investment)

print('YOUR INVESTMENT FOR THE FIRST YEAR IS:',investment)
investment -= 1500
print('YOUR INVESTMENT AFTER TWO YEARS IS:',investment)

investment = 14000
investment += 0.4*investment
print('YOUR INVESTMENT FOR THE FIRST YEAR IS:',investment)
investment -= 1500
print('YOUR INVESTMENT AFTER TWO YEARS IS:',investment)
investment += 0.12*investment
print('YOUR INVESTMENT AFTER THREE YEARS IS:', investment)

Bring on more challenge bro

yemyke001:


investment = 14000
investment += 0.4*investment

print('YOUR INVESTMENT AFTER THREE YEARS IS:', investment)

Thanks Bro... It worked

i am not still familiar with += and -=

help with this below

1. Write a program that asks the user to enter their name. Then it should print out the
ASCII equivalent of each of the first four characters of your name. For instance,
here is a sample run of the program below.
Please enter your name: Kent
K ASCII value i s 75
e ASCII value i s 101
n ASCII value i s 110
t ASCII value i s 116

Take note of the indentation, couldn't do that on NL

What version of python are you using? Cos I ran the code and it ran... It must be 3 upward else you may need to change the string format option to % used in python 2 version

yemyke001:


What version of python are you using? Cos I ran the code and it ran... It must be 3 upward else you may need to change the string format option to % used in python 2 version

i am using the latest version which is 3.8
that's the error below
File "C:/Users/atbab/OneDrive/Desktop/programmes/correction.py", line 11, in <module>
print (f"{char}ASCII VALUE is{ord (name)}"
builtins.TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 8 found

when i replaced that "ord" with "str" this is what it's showing me, and if i space the alphabet and the A before ASCII it's just repeating "please enter name" without showing result

please enter your name: olawale
ASCII VALUE is olawale
oASCII VALUE is olawale
lASCII VALUE is olawale
aASCII VALUE is olawale
wASCII VALUE is olawale
aASCII VALUE is olawale
lASCII VALUE is olawale

thanks Bro... Done

please enter your name: Myles
the ASCII VALUE of is 32

Too much print functions?

That's why i came for help

I'm a rookie in python. Been jumping from python to JavaScript and back to css. Then on to JavaScript again. I'm just lacking focus. Don't know what I want.

Since you're kind of strong in python, why don't you face python squarely and apply for remotes jobs if you're lucky and got accepted, good for you. Since python is wide can't you just go deep like into django and co.

Using functions

def invest_worth():

investment = 14000
first_year = 14000*1.4
#Multiply by 140%
second_year = first_year - 1500
# Decrease by $1500
third_year = second year *1.12
# Multiply by 112%
total_worth = third_year
return "The total investment worth is
{}".format(total_worth)

invest_worth()


#This will give you the total investment value after 3 years.

Please indent the codes!

i think something is still missing, did you run this code?

myles16:

No! But I am sure it will run well unless you did not indent the code.I think I added all instead of just returning the third year.

def invest_worth():
investment = 14000
first_year = 14000*1.4
#Multiply by 140%
second_year = first_year - 1500
# Decrease by $1500
third_year = second_year * 1.12
# Multiply by 112%
total_worth = int(third_year)
print("The total investment worth is " + str(total_worth))

invest_worth()

This will surely work now.

Thanks it worked correctly tho i made little changes

print("The total investment worth is " + str(total_worth))

invest_worth()






This will surely work now.

Thanks... it worked well

Hey,I'm a python beginner.Being self taught hasn't been easy for me.

Can you let me know the materials you use?
I am currently in lists,tuples after,i move to dictionaries.I hope to use python for software development

i am using both videos and pdfs, there's this "python programming fundamentals" by kent d.Lee, it's a pdf of about 240+ pages, check springer books online you will see their books, and they're free. Check "Mosh Hamedani" on you-tube he has a video of about 6+ hours and another 2 hours, with a cheat sheet pdf to download below the video

and hope you've the latest python app, atleast version 3.7 or 3.8, with a good editor or IDE, you can download Wind IDE or pycharm
