Hello. I’ve been trying this problem out for 30 minutes but I still can’t seem to get it to work. When I run it in the Python app, the desired output comes out, but when I submit it here, it gives me a Runtime Error. I would appreciate it a lot if you guys could help me out with this. Thanks.

Here is my code:
a = input()
x = a.split(’ ')

total = int(x[1])

if (int(total)%5 == 0):
total -= int(x[0]) - 0.50
print(str(total-1))
else:
total = total
print(str(total))

Use float, not int.

Also, you need to perform a check to see if the account has insufficient funds.

Here’s my solution for reference

#map function assigns the respective values to the variables. Notice the use of float.
x,y=map(float,input().split()) 

"""
Below code checks whether the amount to be withdrawn is a multiple of 5
and also simultaneously checks if there is sufficient balance in the account and
prints the output accordingly. We print the output with 2 digits precision i.e 
two digits after the decimal point
"""
if (x%5==0 and (x+0.50)<y):
    c=(y-x)-0.5
    print("{0:0.2f}".format(c))
else:
    print("{0:0.2f}".format(y))

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hope this helps,

try using the exception handling commands of python i.e. try and except.
And don’t keep using int every time you mention ‘total’. And also, because you are subtracting 0.50 which is considered float (decimal) so you should use float instead of int.

I just modified your program with exception handling. So, I can’t guarantee if it will give you the right answer as I do not know about the question.

So, please post the question link with your post next time as it may help the readers to help you more.

Hope it helps. :slight_smile:
