But from a strictly implementation viewpoint, it doesn't do the tasks that were asked for in the original design. So if your role is to implement someone else's design (possibly your employer's), this might not be acceptable.

Courses Plus Student 1,453 PointsHi Steven Parker i have glitch with 'Branch and Loop' video of the project, I am on the first step of the video here is a snapshot of my coding on the file (branching_draft.py): https://w.trhou.se/kyhd4omhjw . For line 17 in repl shell it reads back - ' your order has been confirmed for Qty 5 and price Y'. Instead of print 'Y' it should print the total value of tickets, what have i done wrong?

Courses Plus Student 1,453 PointsHi Steven Parker, problem solved on line 15 for the input sting i initially tried giving it a complete new variable name but it wouldn't run through the shell. i must have done a typo and not realised. Which led me to this error, i thought the error was due to the variable not being mentioned before as it came up with 'name error' or 'not defined'. so i tied the new variable """confimation""" to line 11. Thus the input returns the answer and thus losing the entry in line 11 when it goes below line 15. here's what it should have been on first try its alittle messy i should have used "else": https://w.trhou.se/mbrzpl7t3n
