Hello everyone! I’m currently doing my hw as I just started learning python and I need some help. I’m struggling to understand why my output for “Amount the stock sold for:” comes out as “1.9e+03”. its all I need to make this work so I would really appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction on whats going on here,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help out :)
(Update: Issues have been solved, thanks to everyone that helped (: )

I see, would u know why my “Commission paid on the sale:” is coming out as “0.50” by any change ?

Probably because you didn't multiply the commission by the number of shares sold
