Value Estimator Calculator getting a TypeError

[jaycuff13]

Greetings. I am working on creating a calculator in python. My objective is to create a basic calculator to return the repair value and estimated profit. I keep getting error messages. Here is my code below along with the error message.

 print("Welcome to Value Estimator") Value_1 = int(input("Please enter the value of target home:")) a1 = int(input("Please enter the value of the sales price of home #1:")) a2 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #2:")) a3 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #3:")) a4 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #4:")) a5 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #5:")) avg_sales_price = (a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5)/ 5 print("Average sales price for homes in area is", avg_sales_price) ARV = str(avg_sales_price) print("The ARV for this home:" + ARV) def repair_cost(): if Value_1 <= 30000: repair_cost = (60000) - (Value_1) elif Value_1 >= 30000: repair_cost = (Value_1) + 17000 repair_cost(Value_1) profit = str(avg_sales_price) - str(Value_1) - str(repair_cost)

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Cupid/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37/spreadsheet.py", line 33, in <module> repair_cost(Value_1) TypeError: repair_cost() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

repair_cost(Value_1) has been passed a variable but the function def repair_cost(): does not except one.

Also further issues
repair_cost has been used as a function name and a variable name
values are turned into strings to do calculations.

Change

def repair_cost():

to

def calc_repair_cost(Value_1):

Add return repair_cost to the end of function calc_repair_cost

Change

repair_cost(Value_1)

to

repair_cost = calc_repair_cost(Value_1)

Remove the string conversions from

profit = str(avg_sales_price) - str(Value_1) - str(repair_cost)

Thank you for your help, i am trying to add an additional function onto the end that tells me whether a home is a good investment or not, but I am not getting the result that i am looking for. Here is my code

print("Welcome to Value Estimator") Value_1 = int(input("Please enter the value of target home:")) a1 = int(input("Please enter the value of the sales price of home #1:")) a2 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #2:")) a3 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #3:")) a4 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #4:")) a5 = int(input("Please enter the sales price of home #5:")) avg_sales_price = (a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5)/ 5 print("Average sales price for homes in area is", avg_sales_price) ARV = str(avg_sales_price) print("The ARV for this home:" + ARV) def calc_repair_cost(Value_1): if Value_1 <= 30000: repair_cost = (60000) - (Value_1) elif Value_1 >= 30000: repair_cost = 20000 return repair_cost repair_cost = calc_repair_cost(Value_1) print("The repair cost for the home is:", + repair_cost) total_investment = Value_1 + repair_cost def home_rating(Value_1): if total_investment >= 60000: home_rating = False elif total_investment <= 60000: home_rating = True return home_rating worthy_investment = home_rating(Value_1) if home_rating == True: print("This home is worth a look") elif home_rating == False: print("This is not a good home")
