281 Pointsi tryed to add input questions for the 2 varibles but it didnt work ..
def split_check(total,num_of_ppl): cost_per_person = total / num_of_ppl return cost_per_person
total = input("what was the total of the check?") num_of_ppl = input("how many ppl are contributing?")
amount_due = split_check(total,num_of_ppl) print ("each person owes $()".format(amount_due))
just curious why this doesnt work... thank you

54,971 Pointsinput returns a string so these values will have to be converted to numbers prior to passing them to the split_check function where division is performed. You see this conversion in the video with the float and int methods.
total = float(input("what was the total of the check?"))
and
num_of_ppl = int(input("how many ppl are contributing?"))
