    print (Value)

SelectCurrency= str("input please select currency, select EUR, Select USD, Select BRL, Select JPY, Select TRY")

make sure to put your code in the code section its </> on your text.

Is that all of the code, its missing a bit?

 

[kallum54]

that is some of the code but if I put all of the code in it comes up with other errors so I am trying to get this part sorted first before trying to sort the other bits out

 

[simong1993]

i need to see it all though so i can try and recreate the error and see whats happening as the code you have put there is incomplete 🙂

 

[kallum54]

ok sorry m8

#Currency Converetor

#Start
Value= float( input ("Please Enter Amount in GBP: "))
if Value < 50:
print ("Please enter a higher amount")
else:
print (Value)

SelectCurrency= str(input ("please select currency, select EUR, Select USD, Select BRL, Select JPY, Select TRY")

if SelectCurrency== 'EUR'
(value1=(Value* 1.14 )-Value *0.01)
(print ("£", Value, "is equal", value1,SelectCurrency)
# this line above changes the currency from GBP to Euro's by multiplying the GBP by 1.14
# it then subtracts the commission charge of 0.01 of the value of the transaction total
#the program then prints the correct conversion in Euro's from GBP

 

[simong1993]

no this lol

its in here


if you use that, it will indent your code too so i can copy and paste.

 

[kallum54]

I am a new user so this is my first time m8 on here

 

[simong1993]

I know man, thats why im here to help 😀 dont worry i got told off loads of times when i started. @Tealk even gave me a warning lol. Also HOLD UP, this is not python. Is this PHP??

 

[kallum54]

this is what I was given of my tutor to use in python

 

[simong1993]

Sooo line 12 is missing a : at the end of the if statement
Line 10 is missing a )

Few other issues but try this on for size 😀

#Currency Converetor

#Start
Value = int(input ("Please Enter Amount in GBP: "))
if Value < 50:
    print ("Please enter a higher amount")
else:
    print (Value)

SelectCurrency = str(input ("please select currency, select EUR, Select USD, Select BRL, Select JPY, Select TRY:"))
if SelectCurrency == 'EUR':
    value1 = (Value * 1.14) - (Value * 0.01)
    print("£" + str(Value) + " is equal " + str(value1),SelectCurrency)
    # this line above changes the currency from GBP to Euro's by multiplying the GBP by 1.14
    # it then subtracts the commission charge of 0.01 of the value of the transaction total
    #the program then prints the correct conversion in Euro's from GBP

you can copy and paste mine but you get the point and see why said its not all python 😀

 

[kallum54]

ok cheers I will try it and thanks m8 I will let you know how I get on

 

[kallum54]

how can I make it go back to the start when it ask you to enter a gbp amount when you are not wanting anything converted

 

[simong1993]

You could use a while loop so

#Currency Converetor

#Start
while True:
    Value = int(input ("Please Enter Amount in GBP: "))
    if Value < 50:
        print ("Please enter a higher amount")
    else:
        print (Value)

    SelectCurrency = str(input ("please select currency, select EUR, Select USD, Select BRL, Select JPY, Select TRY:"))
    if SelectCurrency == 'EUR':
        value1 = (Value * 1.14) - (Value * 0.01)
        print("£" + str(Value) + " is equal " + str(value1),SelectCurrency)
        # this line above changes the currency from GBP to Euro's by multiplying the GBP by 1.14
        # it then subtracts the commission charge of 0.01 of the value of the transaction total
        #the program then prints the correct conversion in Euro's from GBP

What this will do is unless a error is thrown or there is a query with the Break command in it will just loop over and over again

 

[kallum54]

because we have been asked to do it so if it does not have any currency converted it will restart back to the start of the script

 

[simong1993]

Do you mean, if the Value is not high enough, keep asking for a higher amount untill its over 50?

 

[kallum54]

no what I mean is if the value is not 50 it will go back to the start of the script

 

[kallum54]

also I need help to make the script convert these currencies, USD, BRL, JPY,TRY

 

[simong1993]

I feel like I'm doing your homework 😀 Try this

#Currency Converetor

#Start
while True:
    while True:
        Value = int(float(input ("Please Enter Amount in GBP: ")))
        if Value < 50:
            print ("Please enter a higher amount")
        else:
            print (Value)
            break
            

    while True:
        SelectCurrency = str(input ("please select currency, select EUR, Select USD, Select BRL, Select JPY, Select TRY:"))

        if SelectCurrency == 'EUR':
            value1 = (Value * 1.14) - (Value * 0.01)
            print("£" + str(Value) + " is equal " + str(value1),SelectCurrency)
            break

        elif SelectCurrency == 'USD':
            value1 = (Value * 1.14) - (Value * 0.01)
            print("£" + str(Value) + " is equal " + str(value1),SelectCurrency)
            break

        elif SelectCurrency == 'BRL':
            value1 = (Value * 1.14) - (Value * 0.01)
            print("£" + str(Value) + " is equal " + str(value1),SelectCurrency)
            break

        elif SelectCurrency == 'JPY':
            value1 = (Value * 1.14) - (Value * 0.01)
            print("£" + str(Value) + " is equal " + str(value1),SelectCurrency)
            break

        elif SelectCurrency == 'TRY':
            value1 = (Value * 1.14) - (Value * 0.01)
            print("£" + str(Value) + " is equal " + str(value1),SelectCurrency)
            break

        else:
            print("Please enter ether EUR,USD,BRL,JPY,TRY")

i could have put this into a function but i wanted to make the code easier to understand 🙂
