can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'

Question

level: beginner

why do i get error \"can\'t multiply sequence by non-int of type \'float\'\"?

def nestEgVariable(salary, save, growthRates):
    Sav         


        

Answer 1

In this line:

fund = fund * (1 + 0.01 * growthRates) + depositPerYear

I think you mean this:

fund = fund * (1 + 0.01 * i) + depositPerYear

When you try to multiply a float by growthRates (which is a list), you get that error.
