Question

Q = input("number of quarters")

D = input("number of dimes")

P = input("number of pennies")

print("you have this amount of pennies:"),("Q + D + P =", sum)

Use the above code to create the following.

.

Use functions to modify your code based on the below information. Please remember to call your function so it will get executed when you run your program.

You will submit two python files, one for each below.

 

#Create a function where the user inputs the number of quarters, dimes, and nickels and prints out the results of the total value in pennies.

#Create a function that receives required quarters and optional dimes and nickels and the function calculates and prints out the results of the total value in pennies

Answer 1

def input_value():

numQuarters = int(input("Input your number of quarters: "))

numNickels = int(input("Input your number of nickels: "))

numPennies = int(input("Input your number of pennies: "))

value = (numQuarters * 25) + (numNickels * 5) + numPennies

print("The total value of your coins is: " + str(value))

def output_value(numQuarters, numNickels=0, numPennies=0):

value = (numQuarters * 25) + (numNickels * 5) + numPennies

print("The total value of your coins is: " + str(value))

A few things to note:

1. Try to make your variable names more descriptive! "numQuarters" is a lot easier to make sense of than "Q"
2. Python's input() function always returns a string, so just setting numQuarters to input("Enter...") won't work once you get to the math portion. Instead, we wrap the input() function with "int(input())", telling Python that the string the user inputted is actually an integer, and to treat it as such.

Answer 2

def Input ():

Q = input("Please input # of quarters :>")

D = input("Please input # of dimes :>")

N = input("Please input # of nickes :>")

P = input("Please input # of pennies :>")

return ([Q,D,N,P])

def CalcCurrencyAmt(coins):

Q = coins[0]

D = coins[1]

N = coins[2]

P = coins[3]

amount = 25*int(Q) + 10*int(D) + 5*int(N) + int(P)

currAmt = float(amount)/100

return([amount,currAmt])

coins = Input()

print(" # of Quarters = " + coins[0])

print(" # of Dimes = " + coins[1])

print(" # of Nickes = " + coins[2])

print(" # of Pennies = " + coins[3])

results = CalcCurrencyAmt(coins)

print(" amount in pennies " + str(results[0]))

print(" amount = $" + str(results[1]))
