Why am I getting "EOF when reading a line" in my code

Question

I was doing the ballpark coding challenge and my code works in the coding playground but it does not working in the challenge. I keep getting " line 20, item2 = input(), EOFf when reading a line". Code as follows:
menu = ['Nachos, Pizza, Cheeseburger, Water, Coke']
total1 = 0
item1 = input()
if item1 == 'Nachos':
total1 += 6
elif item1 == 'Pizza':
total1 += 6
elif item1 == 'Cheeseburger':
total1 += 10
elif item1 == 'Water':
total1 += 4
elif item1 == 'Coke':
total1 += 5
else:
total1 += 5
total2 = total1
item2 = input()
if item2 == 'Nachos':
total2 += 6
elif item2 == 'Pizza':
total2 += 6
elif item2 == 'Cheeseburger':
total2 += 10
elif item2 == 'Water':
total2 += 4
elif item2 == 'Coke':
total2 += 5
else:
total2 += 5
total3 = total2
item3 = input()
if item3 == 'Nachos':
total3 += 6
elif item3 == 'Pizza':
total3 += 6
elif item3 == 'Cheeseburger':
total3 += 10
elif item3 == 'Water':
total3 += 4
elif item3 == 'Coke':
total3 += 5
else:
total3 += 5
total4 = total3
item4 = input()
if item4 == 'Nachos':
total4 += 6
elif item4 == 'Pizza':
total4 += 6
elif item4 == 'Cheeseburger':
total4 += 10
elif item4 == 'Water':
total4 += 4
elif item4 == 'Coke':
total4 += 5
else:
total4 += 5
total = total4
tax = total*0.07
print(tax)

Answer 1

Elaf input is given at once line, so you need only to call input() once...
then you must split it on spaces:
inputs = input().split() # don't forgot parenthesis ^^
that way you get a list of 4 items, each could be accesible by square bracket index notation...

Answer 2

visph is it really solution? I did not belive it. Ok that will be removed now. Thanks for this information.

Answer 3

Your code works fine. Here on SL Playground will be needed input data for all requests at start.
Total you have in this code 4 inputs,
that means four lines for input data.

Answer 4

Elaf Unfortunately I cannot remember me about this task. Could you save it please in a file on SL Playground and with the description and provide a link here?

Answer 5

you should use loop to take inputs... to handle any number of them (the task should give you a way to know when to stop taking input: either a first input with the number of items, or a special value at end to stop inputs)

Answer 6

JaScript Yes i know the code works in the playgroud but the code does not work in the Ballpark challenge

Answer 7

wich course? wich lesson?
I cannot find the ballpark challenge ^^

Answer 8

visph its under community and code coach. its called Ballpark orders

Answer 9

I only have access to (free) code coach inside courses... could you copy-paste the task description/requirements?

Answer 10

visph You and three friends go to a baseball game and you offer to go to the concession stand for everyone. They each order one thing, and you do as well. Nachos and Pizza both cost $6.00. A Cheeseburger meal costs $10. Water is $4.00 and Coke is $5.00. Tax is 7%.
Task
Determine the total cost of ordering four items from the concession stand. If one of your friend’s orders something that isn't on the menu, you will order a Coke for them instead.
Input Format
You are given a string of the four items that you've been asked to order that are separated by spaces.
Output Format
You will output a number of the total cost of the food and drinks.
Sample Input
'Pizza Cheeseburger Water Popcorn'
Sample Output
26.75

Answer 11

May be its a pro challenge. But i guess, there only one line of input with items space separated. Accept and split into more..Elaf

Answer 13

visph I see, so then I can do a for loop and solve it then, correct?

Answer 14

sure: that's a more shortest way ;)

Answer 15

JaScript why posting the solution?
it may help to solve the task, but not help to learn (practice is essential) ^^
however, posting solutions of 'pro' code coach is against sololearn rules ;P
