print((eurAmount) * 1.13798)

#RUB

eurAmount = input("How many euros do you wish to convert into RUB?\n------------------------------------")
print((eurAmount) * 74.9470)

#GBP
elif (chosenCurrency) == "3"
eurAmount = input("How many euros do you wish to convert into GBP?\n------------------------------------")

Answer 1

CR34TUR3, your code:
12. if (chosenCurrency) == "1":
13. eurAmount = float(input("How many euros do you wish to convert into USD?\n------------------------------------"))
14. print((eurAmount) * 1.13798)

debug:
12. if (chosenCurrency) == "1":
13. eurAmount = float(input("How many euros do you wish to convert into USD?\n------------------------------------"))
14. print((eurAmount) * 1.13798)

You are advised: "watch for indents".😕
Line 14, no indent.

It remains only for you to rewrite the code ☺:

Hey, you wanna check out my new version? It would've not been possible without you two xd

Answer 4

else:
print("Error...")

eurAmount = float(input("How many euros..."))

Use colons ":" at the end of the if and elif statements.

Answer 5

and don't forget the indentations..

Answer 6

You could move you currency amounts inside the function as variables and then reference them instead of hard coding the same info in the if, elif and else statements

Answer 7

It should be

if chosenCurrency == "1":

Answer 8

Remember to use indentation.

if chosenCurrency == "1:
eurAmount = ...

And fix the else statement.

else:
print("Error...")

Answer 9

Omg...i never checked the print lines carefully enough...like i indented them(dunno if that's english lol) but i didn't indent them again after i edited the other lines of code.

Vasiliy and Diego...thank you so much for helping me to finish my first python program ever! I will keep improving this as i learn more and i will keep learning. Thank you both :)

Answer 10

CR34TUR3 😓👏👏👏

Answer 11

CR34TUR3
It remains to remove the extra digits after the decimal point.
This is done like this: "print(round(int(eurAmount) * 1.13798, 2))".
See my code.
And do not forget to specify the date of exchange rates.

Answer 12

Your doing great so far 👍 and here is how to do the above

Answer 13

I saved it. Did i miss your point or why doesn't it work?

Answer 14

And i thought i was getting better...updated again. And sorry for wasting your time, didn't get it to work this time either :(

Answer 15

Okay i'll just give up at this point...i just don't get it :'( Like i do everything you tell me to do and there is always a new syntax error..

Answer 16

But...i see like no difference at all...i use the indentations like what am i doing wrong at this point? People say that this is a really basic level of python and i can't even understand that

Answer 17

CR34TUR3 Hope to see more from you in the future. Happy coding!

Answer 18

Same to you :)

Answer 19

Yeah : ) I will also change it so i can convert RUB into USD and USD into GBP and so on : ) And i'll also probably add more currencies later. And if i can find a way to connect it to online so the values stay accurate etc.

Isn't optimizing and improving existing code good practice too?

Answer 20

I have yet to find out how that works. If you check the "learn python3"...i just got to the "functions and modules".
