excuse my ignorance. I cannot get this simple program to calculate
the formula.
The error message is unsupported operand type(s) str. I know the data
that I'm reading from the file is a string but I cannot convert it to
a float or int.
The code a sample form the data file are below.

I tried x = float(nCost) but keep getting an error

Maybe the slice values are just wrong? Have you printed all your
variables after picking them from the string to make sure they contain
what you expect?

Yes, They look good to me. The nCost Value is 0022.63.
but I still get the error ValueError: Invalid literal for float(): EATE TA.
What does the 'EATE TA' mean?
Thanks!

Come on, do some basic debugging! Insert 'print repr(nCost)' before the
conversation and look at what you really are feeding to the float()
function. Well, we already now it: at some point you feed the string 'EATE
TA' to float(), and it obviously cannot convert this to a number.

Gee whiz. Don't jump down my throat for some oversite. It's not like I
haven't put forth an effort trying to find out the problem before posting!
Yeah, your right I was reading the "CREATE TABLE line out of the SIL file.
Thanks (I think)

Thanks to all the great helpful off-post comments that I received from this
group. Glad to know there are some people out there that can be "friendly"
and "helpful". It is nice to know some people will help and not call you
lazy or stupid. Sorry, I just felt like I walked into the middle of a
pit-bull attack.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
