🏆 Project: Tip Calculator

Use everything you've learned to build your first real program

You've learned enough to build something real.
Variables, numbers, strings, types, comments, let's combine them into a program that does something useful: splitting a restaurant bill.
This is your first project lesson. No new syntax, just applying what you know.

The formula:

tip_amount = bill * (tip_percent / 100)

total = bill + tip_amount

per_person = total / num_people

A complete tip calculatorpython

# Restaurant bill splitter
bill = 120.00         # total bill before tip
tip_percent = 18      # tip percentage
num_people = 4        # people splitting the bill

# Calculate
tip_amount = bill * (tip_percent / 100)
total = bill + tip_amount
per_person = total / num_people

# Display results
print("Bill:", bill)
print("Tip:", tip_amount)
print("Total:", total)
print("Each person pays:", per_person)

Notice how each variable has a clear name, there's a comment section for each block, and the output labels tell the reader what each number means. This is professional-quality code structure.
