Great job gyaneshshah!

I’ve just taken a look at your code and I found a little possible improvement in task #1, lines 30-33:
Instead of typing theses huge two numbers within the if-else-condition, you could make use of the “conversion” dictionary, like this:

if item[-1]=='M':
    finlist.append(float(item[:-1])*conversion['M'])
else:
    finlist.append(float(item[:-1])*conversion['B'])

This way you are much more flexible and reduce the risk of forgetting a “0” or so…

Happy coding!

Here is a link to my solution on GitHub: [[Github link]]
This is my first time trying to use GitHub so hopefully this works.
I used a lot of help and hints for this. I also changed some of the parameters to play around with ‘Try/Except’

HI, there is my solution. Great exercise to practice working with dictionaires.

haebi · January 7, 2024, 4:01pm

Here is my code! I hope you enjoy the extra comments and the little tweaks I made to the variable names to make the learning more easy to understand! Thank you for reading and if you have posted yours, message me directly and I promise to read it! Happy coding everyone

Hi Every one
I am sorry,
I really want to know something…

I really dont know how to finish this project without looking these solution or sample solution.
is it my problem? am i too stupid? is it mean my talent may be not in here? better to switch to other direction?

anybody like me dont know how to finish it without looking these solution?

Thank you everyone.

Does anyone have any tutorials i can look at to better understand how to complete this project? i did everything up to this and im completely lost. im on the first step.
i looked at codes people are sharing and wondering how they even got that, and tried plugging it in myself, where i just get an error.
I tried the next project medical insurance and had no issues.

Hi ericwhv!
Don’t be discouraged and don’t question your choice for this path because of this one task. Maybe I or someone else can help you make it clearer!
Do you have a specific question about one or more tasks?

srb97302 · February 26, 2024, 7:10pm

This was a challenging project, as was the coded correspondence project. Both required that I learn some things that hadn’t been taught on Codecademy and to combine the new stuff with the Codecademy stuff. I like these kinds of projects!

Here is my solution hosted on GitHub!

Hello,

Would love feedback on the project, any improvements welcomed.

Here is my solution for this project.
There is some french comments in there…

If you want to look a it and comment, that would be great!

katrinacoding · March 4, 2024, 6:45am

Here is my solution for the project. It was a difficult one but fun, I felt like I learnt a lot! I also learnt how to use GitHub to be able to share here:

Any feedback on my GitHub or the comments that I’ve detailed through the project would be appreciated - I’m not sure if I have included enough detail (or too much!)
