On Day2 of the #100daysofcode challenge we dive deeper in learning more about manipulating strings and we move onto data types (defining variables differently).
If you haven’t already checked out my previous day, please go and give it a read here.

Exercises & Concepts Learnt
Below are a few of the concepts learnt in Day2 of the course and exercises to practice those concepts. This was definitely a step up from Day 1 in terms of concepts and things to pick up. With heavy focus on maths + data manipulation.
learning datatypesconversion functions using data typesstring to integer conversion & using math operators to calculate an sumwriting a program that calculates BMI from user inputCreate a program using maths and f-Strings that tells us how many days, weeks, months we have left if we live until 90 years old.💡Tip! When tackling exercises, break it down like a story, find where you think variables need to be created in order for values to be stored and think about where manipulation needs to occur.
Day 2 | Project “Tip Calculator”
So todays project is a tip calculator. The programme will ask for the following:
- how much was the total bill?
- how much percentage of tip to pay (10, 12 or 15%)
- how many people is the bill being split between?
Then it will calculate the final bill per a person (rounded to 2 decimal places). You can see below my working solution via running the script.
💡Tip! My calculations are not as good as they used to be 😂, I’d highly recommend writing out maths like this on a piece of paper to help determine where you need to do your calculations in code. It’s a bit like pseudocode.
