I know what cause is of the problem. When I loop through the if/else statement, the function gets called again and asks the question again. From line 10 – 35.
I am really unsure how to ask for help with this one. I know why its broken, I just have no idea how to ask to fix it.
Here is all the code. Just a disclaimer. I am very new to development.
def tax_calc(tax: float, tax_perc: int):
tax_pay = tax * (tax_perc / 100)
return tax_pay
def income_bracket_calc(user_sal: float):
def benefit_calc():
user_child_input = input("Do you have any children? (y/n): ")
if user_child_input == "y":
return 1
elif user_child_input == "n":
return 2
else:
return 3
if user_sal <= 0:
print("Invalid input. Please Select y/n only.")
elif 1 <= user_sal <= 5000:
benefit_calc()
if benefit_calc() == 1:
print("You have qualified for free medical aid and a 100% school bursary for your children.")
print("You do not have to pay income tax.")
print()
elif benefit_calc() == 2:
print("You have qualified for free medical aid.")
print("You do not have to pay income tax.")
print()
elif benefit_calc() == 3:
print("Invalid input. Please use y/n only.")
print()
elif 5001 <= user_sal <= 10000:
print()
elif user_sal > 10000:
print()
while True:
user_income_input = float(input("Please enter your income: "))
income_bracket_calc(user_income_input)
kill_prg = input("Would you like to exit the program? y/n: ")
if kill_prg == "y":
break
elif kill_prg == "n":
continue
else:
print("Invalid input. Use y/n only.")
I would want the if statements, in the “income_bracket_calc” (line 23-38), to work without calling the “benefit_calc()” function again.
As I said, I am really not sure how to ask this question. Or if what I want to do is even possible

Try changing your income_bracket_calc function like this:
def income_bracket_calc(user_sal: float):
def benefit_calc():
user_child_input = input("Do you have any children? (y/n): ")
if user_child_input == "y":
return 1
elif user_child_input == "n":
return 2
else:
return 3
if user_sal <= 0:
print("Invalid input. Please Select y/n only.")
elif 1 <= user_sal <= 5000:
result = benefit_calc()
if result == 1:
print("You have qualified for free medical aid and a 100% school bursary for your children.")
print("You do not have to pay income tax.")
print()
elif result == 2:
print("You have qualified for free medical aid.")
print("You do not have to pay income tax.")
print()
elif result == 3:
print("Invalid input. Please use y/n only.")
print()
elif 5001 <= user_sal <= 10000:
print()
elif user_sal > 10000:
print()
