Don't know what's wrong with tip calculator. (Python)

[The_Budget_Gamer]

I'm trying to make a scrip that asks for user input of the meal price and percentage tip they want to pay.

After inputting the tip percentage it just closes.

print "What is the cost of the meal including vat"
meal_plus_vat = int(raw_input())



print "Input percentage tip in decimal format"
tip = int(raw_input())


total_due = meal_plus_vat * tip

tip_amount = total_due - meal_plus_vat

print "Total due is" + str(total_due)

print "Tip is" + str(tip_amount)

time.sleep(10)

What is the issue you're encountering exactly ?

Is it python 2 or 3?

why don't you simply use the input function ?

Python 2. Will try with input function.

I'm not a python guy, but if it's a script then it closes after the tip is input because there is nothing to stop the program from finishing other than the timer which, if its like C, is set to 10 milliseconds, so you'll never see the output as it flashes up too quickly. If you call the script from a console window that doesn't close after execution you would see the output. But I don't know what tools are used with python so don't know how they operate, just making assumptions and maybe not helping at all!

I would also question how you plan to enter the tip. I would expect to enter 5 for a 5% tip but that would add a 400% tip. So I would edit total_due calculation

total_due = meal_plus_vat * (1 + tip / 100)

You need to import time. If you open a command window / terminal and run it from there the window will stay open and you can see what error you're getting.

1. Import time

2. meal_plus_var and tip should be float, not int

3. Please check your math

(4. It's bad practice to use float for money but it doesn't matter for this application though)
