I was wondering if I could use, "total_due" instead of "amount_due"?
I'm having trouble learning to speak python, what resources are their to learn the syntax? My way of coding variables isn't working.
When I copy Craig's way of doing this lesson project in the console, this workspace still doesn't run the code. What I am doing wrong?
