I am trying to get this function into a while loop but am having trouble with it. Any advice would be appreciated!

def get_totalspent():
    print("Please enter the amount you spent on coffee for each day of the week\n")
    weekdays = ["sunday","monday","Tuesday","wednesday","thursday","friday","saturday"]
    sunday=eval(input("Enter amount spent for sunday:"))
    monday=eval(input("Enter amount spent for monday:"))
    tuesday=eval(input("Enter amount spent for tuesday:"))
    wednesday=eval(input("Enter amount spent for wednesday:"))
    thursday=eval(input("Enter amount spent for thursday:"))
    friday=eval(input("Enter amount spent for friday:"))
    saturday=eval(input("Enter amount spent for saturday:"))

    #accumulate total
    totalSpent = sunday monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday
    print("You spent:", totalSpent, "dollars on coffee this week. You may want to cut back on the caffine!")

CodePudding user response：

You don't need to define many variables. Instead, you can use a list:

weekdays = ["sunday","monday","Tuesday","wednesday","thursday","friday","saturday"]

amounts = []
for day in weekdays:
    amounts.append(float(input(f"Enter amount spent for {day}: ")))

print(f"You spent ${sum(amounts):.2f}.")
