Ok,the code works perfectly when you type invalid number(<=1),but when I type some string instead of number, the code seem to ignore the ValueError message, it says "could not convert string to float: "..." instead, but when I type -21,it says my ValuEerror message which I gave in my function def,I think that I have to add some line which also says that the value error message can be raise if I type string as well, like this if number_of_people <= 1 and number_of_people == str(): .. but it doesn't seem to work that way.....
