The Nile Test Functions

[xavierdavis869921579]

Here is the link to the exercise I am working on:

https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-python-3/projects/function-args-the-nile

The code looks fine as it looks just like the walkthrough but for some reason it doesn’t register that I am telling it to expect multiple arguments. So when I run the test it says the following:

calculate_driver_cost() doesn’t expect multiple driver arguments

Here is my code, I don’t see what’s wrong.

def calculate_driver_cost(distance, *drivers):
cheapest_driver = None
cheapest_driver_price = None
for driver in drivers:
driver_time = driver.speed * distance
price_for_driver = driver.salary * driver_time
if cheapest_driver is None:
cheapest_driver = driver
cheapest_driver_price = price_for_driver
elif price_for_driver < cheapest_driver:
cheapest_driver = driver
cheapest_driver_price = price_for_driver
return cheapest_driver_price, cheapest_driver

Test the function by calling

test_function(calculate_driver_cost)

I actually completed the rest of the exercise and got the same error for the last part where we pass in a dictionary and need to use **args. There has to be some bug going on here. My code looks the same.

Hello, @xavierdavis869921579. Welcome to the forum! Could you post your code using the </> button, so we can see it in the way you have it formatted in the code editor? See the following regarding pasting code into a forum post:

THANK YOU @patrickd314 for this!!

Code that is posted without the indentations preserved, is not Python. Indentations are not optional in Python, but are rather an essential part of the language , lacking which your code will not run at all.

Unindented code is difficult to read, requires guesswork concerning your intent, and cannot be copied and pasted for testing, both because it is unindented and because it often contains characters such as left-and right double-quotes that are unreadable to the Python interpreter.

The Codecademy forum provides a quick and easy way to post properly-formatted code. All you need to do is look for the </> icon in the menu bar which appears at the top of the text box while you type.

Press Enter to go to a blank line, click that icon, and you will see this:

Just copy and paste your code directly from the editor into that highlighted portion, and all of the nicely-readable Python formatting will be preserved! Moreover, it will be in a format that can be directly copied and pasted into a Python IDE for testing.

Thanks!

In elif line, it should be price_for_driver< cheapest_driver_price

Hi,
I have the same problem

def calculate_driver_cost(distance,*drivers):
  cheapest_driver = None
  cheapest_driver_price = None
  for driver in drivers:
    driver_time = driver.speed * distance
    price_for_driver = driver.salary * driver_time
    if cheapest_driver is None:
      cheapest_driver = driver
      cheapest_driver_price = cheapest_driver_price
    elif price_for_driver < cheapest_driver_price:
      cheapest_driver = driver
      cheapest_driver_price = cheapest_driver_price
  return cheapest_driver_price, cheapest_driver

the test result is

calculate_driver_cost() doesn't expect multiple driver arguments
