I'm reading this python book called "Python for software design" and it has the following exercise: Suppose the cover price of a book is $24.95, but the bookstores get a 40% discount. Shipping costs $3 for the first copy and 75 cents for each additional copy. What is the total wholesale cost for 60 copies ok, i have the following code: bookPrice = 24.95 discount = .60 shippingPriceRest = .75 shippingPriceFirst = 3.00 totalUnits = 60 bookDiscountAmount = bookPrice * discount * totalUnits shipping = shippingPriceRest * 59 + shippingPriceFirst result = bookDiscountAmount + shipping print 'The total price for 60 books including shipping and discount is: ' print 'Total price of the books is: ' + str(bookDiscountAmount) print 'Total Shipping is: ' + str(shipping) print 'The Total price is: ' + str(result) With that I get the following results: The total price for 60 books including shipping and discount is: Total price of the books is: 898.2 Total Shipping is: 47.25 The Total price is: 945.45 My questions are: Is this correct? How can i make this code better? Continue reading...
