2,481 PointsMy way of approaching
Hi, so below is my way to approach this "check_please" app. Pls take a look, and feel free to tell me what do you think
My method
import math
def splitCheck(total, numberOfPeople): r = math.ceil (total/numberOfPeople) print ("So each one will have to pay ${}".format (r))
totalDue = float (input ("How much for the meal? ")) numberOfPeople = int (input ("How many people are there? "))
splitCheck (totalDue, numberOfPeople)
And by the way, can anyone spot the difference between the "print" and "return" functions? Thanks a lot!!!

That way it is easier to use the returned value for other purposes if needed.
