I'm just beginning Python and I wrote this small program that's supposed to take user input and print a result. However, I don't understand the error that's occuring when I run it:
Code:
# The purpose of this program is to use the user's input (the price of their meal), and outputs a receipt telling them how much the meal costs with tax and an optional tip.
print("Thank you for coming! We hoped you enjoyed the meal. Please use our all new PythonBillPayer! A fast way to pay for your day!")
PriceOfMeal = float(input("Please enter the price of your meal"))
TipAmount = float(input("Please enter amount of tip you would like to give"))
def receiptCalculation(PriceOfMeal, TipAmount):
NewPrice = (((((13/100)*PriceOfMeal)) + PriceOfMeal) + TipAmount)
return NewPrice
print(receiptCalculation(PriceOfMeal))
Error Message:
builtins.TypeError: receiptCalculation() missing 1 required positional argument: 'TipAmount'
The method receiptCalculation
need to Arguments: PriceOfMeal
and TipAmount
. receiptCalculation(PriceOfMeal)
passes only one argument to the method, so it raises an Error.
