Hi,
I’m struggling with the US American Insurance. I’ve some ideas of what I want to analyze. I was trying to find out the avg cost of the insurance by sex. I’ve two paths and I want to test both of them. One is with dict and the other without.
Here I was working with the without and when I ran the code, it says I don’t have the female_count or male_count define. What I’m missing?
It looks like you have the wrong arguments for the cost_per_sexes function on the last line.
There should be something you can use for listofSexes and listOfcharges
That’s a scope issue.
variables defined/declared inside a function would not be accessible outside the function,
and that last line is outside the function. (That’s outside the scope of the variable.)
But if I moved the “return” inside, I will have the same issue. Sorry, I’m not following how I can solved this.
I’d try something more like
costs = cost_per_sexes(listOfSexes, listOfCharges)
print("There are " + str(costs[0]) + " females, with a total cost of " + str(round(costs[3], 2)) + " dollars.")
possibly with the appropriate lists for listOfSexes and listOfCharges if (those variables are named something else before the function).
Notice that the function returns a tuple
and female_count was at index 0 in the tuple, and female_cost was at index 3 in the tuple.
