The issue arises because the string you are trying to print is not a string, rather a float value. Item1, item2 and item3 are strong values (if you type some alphabets in it and not just numbers), but itemonecost, itemtwocost, and itemthreecost are explicitly type casted to float. In line 22, 23, and 24 you’re trying to print a float, by adding it with the string. One cannot add numbers to string. Rather you can type cast the itemcost to string while printing.
Add str(itemonecost) instead of itemonecost in print statement. Do this for other float variables too.
However do note that there are multiple ways to correct this issue, and I’ve just pointed one out.
Answer:
mylist = [ ]
for i in range(7):
mylist.append (int(input("Enter the number of bugs for each day ")))
print(mylist)
print("The highest number of bugs is ")
print(max((mylist)))
Explanation:
- Create and Initialize an empty (mylist)
- Using the .append method, we request and add the bugs for each day into the list
- print out the list
- Use the max function to find the highest number of bugs in the list and print it out
