Hey, I’m trying to get it to times the price by how much stock, and print the values, but it’s not working, any help would be great
Check the indentation.
The function definition should not be inside the loop.
There’s a scope issue:
total (as a number) is declared inside a function, so it is not accessible outside of the function.
You can fix that by having return total inside the function, but outside the loop in the function.
for key in prices:
print key
print "price: %s" % prices[key]
print "stock: %s" % stock[key]
def total():
total = 0
for key in prices:
print prices[key] * stock[key]
total = total + prices[key]*stock[key]
#print total
return total
print total() # not in a loop
Notice that last line is a function call.
(You created a function called total instead of a variable that holds a number.)
Note that you don’t need to create a function to do this pat of the exercise.
