In the Tutorial,Under "Coding Logic with Scripts: I have successfully created the example for calculating compound interest. When I submit the form with a value of amount = 1000, rate = 6, periods = 12, years = 10, I get this error.
Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'calculateCompoundingInterest' is not defined
Being new I am not sure what is wrong. I am continuing on, but would like to get this to work.
Put the quotes back around """Calculate Compounding Interest""". I am guessing that you got rid of the quotes, and that kinda worked to remove your previous "syntax error" problem. Except now it is looking for calculateCompoundingInterest as a variable. Another way to make lines that do not parse (e.g., comment lines) in python is to put # in front of it. Like this: # calculateCompoundingInterest hth, -- Jim Washington
