I am writing a code in python where I use different functions to calculate wage, federal tax, state tax, and net worth. Everything is fine except my output says, ('Your wage is: $', 989) instead of Your wage is: $989 I tried using +(wag) but it doesn't let me run it. How do I get rid of the parenthesis, comma, and quotation marks from the output? And how do I make the output have no decimal points? I am not using float, so I don't know why it's still giving me decimal points. Here's my code:

def Calculatewages():

    wage = (work*hours)

    return wage

def CalcualteFederaltax():

    if (status== ("Married")):

        federaltax = 0.20

    elif (status== ("Single")):

        federaltax = 0.25

    elif status:

        federaltax = 0.22

    federaltax = float(wag*federaltax)

    return federaltax

def Calculatestatetax():

    if(state=="CA") or (state=="NV") or (state=="SD") or (state=="WA") or (state=="AZ"):

        statetax = 0.08

    if (state== "TX") or(state=="IL") or (state=="MO") or (state=="OH") or (state=="VA"):

        statetax = 0.07

    if (state== "NM") or (state== "OR") or (state=="IN"):

        statetax = 0.06

    if (state):

        statetax = 0.05

    statetax = float(wag*statetax)

    return statetax

def Calculatenet():

    net = float(wag-FederalTax-StateTax)

    return net



hours = input("Please enter your work hours: ")

work = input("Please enter your hourly rate: ")

state = input("Please enter your state of resident: ")

status = input("Please enter your marital status: ")

print("**********")

wag = Calculatewages()

FederalTax = CalcualteFederaltax()

StateTax = Calculatestatetax()

Net = Calculatenet()

print("Your wage is: $" ,wag)

print("Your federal tax is: $",FederalTax)

print("Your state tax is: $",StateTax)

print("Your net wage is: $",Net)

For this part:

print("Your wage is: $" ,wag)

print("Your federal tax is: $",FederalTax)

print("Your state tax is: $",StateTax)

print("Your net wage is: $",Net)

you can rewrite it as this using string's format() method:

print("Your wage is: ${}".format(wag))

print("Your federal tax is: ${}".format(FederalTax))

print("Your state tax is: ${}".format(StateTax))

print("Your net wage is: ${}".format(Net))

This is useful as you can insert the value into any place in the string (wherever you put the curly brackets).

As for your decimal points problem you can use the built in round function like this:

round(float(variable), int(decimal_places))

for example:

round(1.43523556, 2)

will return 1.44

There are no quotes or parenthesis in the output in python 3.x, Check if you are running on python 2 or python 3. Looks like you are on python 2 by judging your output.

So change all your print statements like this

print "Your net wage is: $", wag # remove brackets

...

However, if you want it to run on python 3 your code doesn't run as you are multiplying 2 strings in this line

def Calculatewages():

    wage = (work*hours) # <------ here

    return wage

To fix this issue you must cast them into int and then your code should run without problems.

hours = int(input("Please enter your work hours: ")) # < ---- Cast to int

work = int(input("Please enter your hourly rate: ")) # < ---- Cast to int

state = input("Please enter your state of resident: ")

status = input("Please enter your marital status: ")

My output:

Please enter your work hours: 8

Please enter your hourly rate: 10

Please enter your state of resident: IN

Please enter your marital status: Single

**********

Your wage is: $ 80

Your federal tax is: $ 20.0

Your state tax is: $ 4.0

Your net wage is: $ 56.0

you can also use string's format() method:

print("Your wage is: ${}".format(wag))

print("Your federal tax is: ${}".format(FederalTax))

print("Your state tax is: ${}".format(StateTax))

print("Your net wage is: ${}".format(Net))

If you're running under python3.x, then with your code, it should print out without the parenthesis, and if you're running under python2.x, then to get rid of the parenthesis, you might wanna try:

print "Your wage is: $", wag
