what? you misspelled what?

I was going to say "subdawoofer likes to pretend he knows what he's talking about", until I changed my mind (not because I decided you might know what you're talking about, fyi)
but the fact that you think you misspelled something makes it kind of clear so I guess I might as well say it

okay now you've edited your post and I know what you supposedly misspelled. you still don't know what you're talking about though, and for precisely the same reason that I was going to say it before
also if you were not, in fact, suggesting he use bash instead, what are you trying to say? he should not use a command line at all? that implies even less knowledge of what you're talking about than I had previously thought

so im having some trouble with this basic program in python: the idea is that it will ask a user to enter in numbers, it will put those numbers in a list, and then it will use a loop to add up those numbers. what am i doing wrong here?

Code: [Select]

def main():
    keep_numbering = 'y'
    numbers = []
    while keep_numbering == 'y':
        num = input("What was the sale for this day?: ")
        numbers.append(num)
        keep_numbering = input("Do you want to add another sale? (y/n): ")

    for index.num in range(len(numbers)):
            total = sum(numbers)

main()

Disclaimer: I never learned python.

In your for loop at the end it looks like you're just reassigning the total variable for each iteration of the loop, which would not accomplish adding each value since the only result you'll get is from the last iteration of the loop.

the issue seems to be with "index.num" tho, this is the error message i get:

Code: [Select]

Traceback (most recent call last):

    main()
  File "C:/Users/xx/Downloads/exam_prepare.py", line 30, in main
    for index.num in range(len(numbers)):
NameError: name 'index' is not defined
