So like I said, I'd like it to read a clean monetary number instead of having a bunch of decimal points following the answer. It's not required for this challenge but it's driving me nuts and I want to learn. Ideally, I'd like to do it the simplest way possible since I'm still beginning

    Something like `round(val, 2)` to round to 2 decimal places? – B Remmelzwaal Aug 30 '23 at 20:27

    Could you explain why you feel that all this code in the question is needed for a minimal example of what you want to do? – Matthias Aug 30 '23 at 20:31
  • @BoppreH Given the text in the title, this question is not even about rounding up, but about simple rounding. – Matthias Aug 30 '23 at 20:33
  • Outside of the challenge itself, when you're dealing with exact monetary amounts, it's best to use the Decimal type instead to avoid floating point error. https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html – Josh Bowden Aug 30 '23 at 20:39
