Question

Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:

Answer 1

Answer:

The modified program in Python is as follows:

import math

paint_colors = {'red': 35,'blue': 25,'green': 23}

wall_height = int(input('Enter wall height (feet):\n'))

wall_width = int(input('Enter wall width (feet):\n'))

area = wall_height*wall_width

print('Wall area:',area,'square feet')

paint_needed = area/350.0

print('Paint needed: {:.2f} gallons'.format(paint_needed))

print('Cans needed:',round(paint_needed),'can(s)')

color = input("Choose a color to paint the wall: ")

print("Cost of purchasing", color, "paint: $",paint_colors[color])

Explanation:

The italicized are given from the question [unchanged]

import math

paint_colors = {'red': 35,'blue': 25,'green': 23}

wall_height = int(input('Enter wall height (feet):\n'))

This gets input for width

wall_width = int(input('Enter wall width (feet):\n'))

Calculate the wall area

area = wall_height*wall_width

Print the calculated wall area

print('Wall area:',area,'square feet')

Calculate the amount of paint needed

paint_needed = area/350.0

Print the amount of paint needed to 2 decimal places

print('Paint needed: {:.2f} gallons'.format(paint_needed))

Print the amount of can needed to nearest integer

print('Cans needed:',round(paint_needed),'can(s)')

Prompt user for color of paint [here, we assume the user input is correct]

color = input("Choose a color to paint the wall: ")

Prints the corresponding amount for the color

print("Cost of purchasing", color, "paint: $",paint_colors[color])
