My main does not call any modules / functions

[coolindienc]

I am getting frustrated here. I thought if it doesn't run I will atleast get some error. Hoever, the program does not do anything when I run it. Any suggestions?

def getInput():
    speedLimit = int (raw_input ("Enter the speed limit: "))
    clockedSpeed = int (raw_input ("Enter the clocked speed of the car: "))
 
def calculation():
    overSpeed = clockedSpeed - speedLimit
    fine = 50.00 + (5.00 * overSpeed)
    if overSpeed:
        if clockedSpeed > 90:
            toalfine = fine + 200.00
        elif clockedSpeed <= 90:
            totalFine = fine
    else:
        fine = 0.00
        totalFine = 0.00
    tooFast = clockedSpeed - 90
 
def printOut():
    print "Posted speed limit: \n\n"+speedLimit
    print "Clocked speed : \n\n"+clockedSpeed
    if clockSpeed > speedLimit:
        print "\n * Driver was speeding."
        print "\n * Driver was speeding by " + overSpeed + "mph"
        if clockedSpeed >90:
            print "\n * Driver was speeding by " + overSpeed + "mph & exeeding 90 mph"
        elif clockedSpeed <= speedLimit:
            print "\n * Driver was not speeding.\n"
            print "\n * Driver was speeding by " + clockedSpeed + "mph"
 
def speedingFine():
    print "Speeding fine: "
    print "Penalty for over 90 mph: "+tooFast
    print "Total fine: "+totalFine
 
#Main--------------------------------------------
    getinput()

    speedingFine()

Use a forward slash instead of a backslash in your code tags. You can check how your post will display by hitting the 'Preview Post' button.

Python is 'case' and 'spelling' sensitive. getinput() will not call getInput() and calculate() will not call calculation(). Slow down and check your code. I test all my code in an IDE (usually Pythonwin) incrementally to spot coding errors. I strongly suggest that you call functions with arguments and return values similar to this:

## Function definition - returns a float rounded down to the previous
## 'increment'
import math
 
def round_length_last(length, increment="1/16"):
    if not increment:
        return length
    else:
        return float(math.floor(length/increment) * increment)
 
a = round_length_last(120.4567, increment=0.5)
print "%0.4f" % (a)

will do so. Thanks a lot bvdet I supposed since I am new to programming I need to learn a lot.

Python is indent sensitive, too. The part of your code that is calling the functions looks like it is indented. That means that it is still part of the function that is above it.

Thanks for the post Subsciber123.

What he means is:

def getInput():
    speedLimit = int (raw_input ("Enter the speed limit: "))
    clockedSpeed = int (raw_input ("Enter the clocked speed of the car: "))
 
def calculation():
    overSpeed = clockedSpeed - speedLimit
    fine = 50.00 + (5.00 * overSpeed)
    if overSpeed:
        if clockedSpeed > 90:
            toalfine = fine + 200.00
        elif clockedSpeed <= 90:
            totalFine = fine
    else:
        fine = 0.00
        totalFine = 0.00
    tooFast = clockedSpeed - 90
 
def printOut():
    print "Posted speed limit: \n\n"+speedLimit
    print "Clocked speed : \n\n"+clockedSpeed
    if clockSpeed > speedLimit:
        print "\n * Driver was speeding."
        print "\n * Driver was speeding by " + overSpeed + "mph"
        if clockedSpeed >90:
            print "\n * Driver was speeding by " + overSpeed + "mph & exeeding 90 mph"
        elif clockedSpeed <= speedLimit:
            print "\n * Driver was not speeding.\n"
            print "\n * Driver was speeding by " + clockedSpeed + "mph"
 
def speedingFine():
    print "Speeding fine: "
    print "Penalty for over 90 mph: "+tooFast
    print "Total fine: "+totalFine
 
#Main--------------------------------------------
getinput()
calculate()
printOut()
speedingFine()

Has correct indetation.
