you cant edit your post or i just cant find it

Re: I need help please
 

Write "CODE=python" enclosed in square brackets then paste your code from your editor and end it with "/CODE" also in square brackets.
Note, all are without Quotes

Here we go:

def main():

    books = getBooks

    points = getPoints

    printPoints



def getBooks():

    books = input("enter the books purchased")

    return books



def getPoints(books):

    if books <= 0:

        points = 0

    elif books <= 1:

        points = 5

    elif books <= 2:

        points = 15

    elif books <= 3:

        points = 30

    elif books <= 4:

        points =60

    return points



def printPoints(books,points):

    print ("you bought ,books, you now have ,points,")





main()

Re: I need help please
 

Okay here is a version with a lot of things fixed:

def main():

    books = getBooks()  #Remember those () otherwise the functions are not called

    points = getPoints(books) #again

    printPoints(books, points)



def getBooks():

    books = input("enter the books purchased")

    return books



def getPoints(books):

    if books <= 0:

        points = 0

    elif books <= 1:

        points = 5

    elif books <= 2:

        points = 15

    elif books <= 3:

        points = 30

    elif books <= 4:

        points =60

    return points



def printPoints(books,points):

    print ("you bought" ,books, "you now have ",points) #Remeber to split up the string





main()
