keep_going = 'y' while keep_going == 'y': sales = float(input("Enter Sales Total: ")) comm_rate = float(input('Enter commission rate: ')) commission = sales * comm_rate print(f'The commission is ${commission:.2f}') keep_going = input('Would you like to calcuate another commission? (y/n) ') print('Have a nice day!')

This code calculates the commission based on user-provided sales totals and commission rates repeatedly until the user chooses to stop. Here's what it does step by step:

  1. Initialization:

    • The variable keep_going is set to 'y', which serves as a flag to control the while loop.
  2. While Loop:

    • The loop runs as long as keep_going == 'y'.
    • Inside the loop:
      • The program prompts the user to input a sales total, which is converted to a floating-point number and stored in sales.
      • The user is then asked to input a commission rate as a floating-point number stored in comm_rate.
      • It calculates the commission by multiplying sales by comm_rate.
      • The calculated commission is displayed, formatted to two decimal places.
    • After displaying the result, the program asks the user if they want to calculate another commission by inputting 'y' or 'n'.
      • If the user enters 'y', the loop repeats.
      • If the user enters 'n', the loop ends.
  3. Upon Exit:

    • When the loop ends (i.e., the user inputs anything other than 'y'), the program prints the message Have a nice day! and terminates.

In Summary:

The program repeatedly calculates the commission using user-provided sales totals and commission rates until the user decides to stop by entering a value other than 'y'.
