Total Car Price (#3 in Python)

carPrice = input (“what is the base price of the car?”)

tax = int (carPrice) * .125
insurance = 250
totalcarPrice = int (carPrice) + int (insurance) + int (tax)

print (“total cost of your car including: insurance $”,insurance,”,”)
print (“and tax: $”,tax,” comes to $”,totalcarPrice)
input ()

This is a program that figures out all your extra costs, when buying a car.

The only mistake I still need to figure out, is what the escape clause is for avoiding having a space at the end of a statement inside a print function.

It works fine, the user enters the base cost for the car.

Program calculates the tax and adds a previously decided insurance cost.

Then the program provides the user with both the individual costs, and the total all-inclusive price of the car.

EDIT:
After some research not in-book, it turns out that you can avoid the white spaces in between statements by using the function sep = “”, which should be treated as a variable – so not inside the quotation marks of the print function, rather, naked inside the brackets.

So the final program now looks like this:

carPrice = input (“what is the base price of the car?”)

tax = int (carPrice) * .125
insurance = 250
totalcarPrice = int (carPrice) + int (insurance) + int (tax)

print (“total cost of your car including: insurance $”,insurance,”,”, sep = “”)
print (“and tax: $”,tax,” comes to $”,totalcarPrice, sep = “”)
