Rounding to 2 decimal places in python gpa calculator

For my assignment, I have been asked to create a GPA calculator. They want me to edit my code to make the GPA output always show two decimal places. However, mine doesn't seem to be working! D:

The output only prints to 1 decimal place

here is what I've tried so far, ive also tried str instead of float:

gpa = total/num_of_subjects #using this formula the gpa is calculated
gpa = float(round(gpa, 2))

print (gpa) #output gpa

Try formatting it to only display 2 decimals

gpa = total / num_of_subjects
print(f"{gpa:.2f}")

from decimal import Decimal


total = 109

num_of_subjects = 33
gpa = total/num_of_subjects #using this formula the gpa is calculated
gpcc= Decimal(gpa)
print(round(gpcc,2))

here u have a simplieer solution to the same problem! cheers!

You need to use int in order for it to round up and not down. The other problem with your code was that you were using num_of_subjects as an input but then trying to divide by it. So if someone entered 3 subjects their gpa would come out at 0.0. Here's how you should fix it:

def calculateGPA():

total = float(input("Enter the number of units completed"))

num_of_subjects = float(input("Enter the number of courses taken"))

gpa = total / num_of_subjects

print ("The GPA is", gpa)

if gpa >= 4.0:

print ("Excellent")

elif gpa > 3.5 and <4.0:

print ("Very Good")

else :

print ("Good")

calculateGPA()

You can format the output as a string value with "{:0.2f}" format, so your answer will always have 2 decimal digits despite gpa value:

total, num_of_subjects = 100, 10

gpa = total/num_of_subjects
gpa = float(round(gpa, 2))

print("{:0.2f}".format(gpa))

10.00
