Question

Help with Python code. Right now I'm creating a code in Python to create a GUI. Here's my code:

#All modules are built into Python so there is no need for any installation

import tkinter
from tkinter import Label
from tkinter import Entry

def calculatewages():
hours=float(nhours.get())
nsal=float(nwage.get())
wage=nsal*hours
labelresult=Label(myGUI,text="Weekly Pay: $ %.2f" % wage).grid(row=7,column=2)
return

Tk = tkinter.Tk()
  
myGUI=Tk
myGUI.geometry('400x200+100+200')
myGUI.title('Pay Calculator')

nwage=float()
nhours=float()

label1=Label(myGUI,text='Enter the number of hours worked for the week').grid(row=1, column=0)
label2=Label(myGUI,text='Enter the pay rate').grid(row=2, column=0)

mywage=Entry(myGUI,textvariable=nwage).grid(row=1,column=2)
myhours=Entry(myGUI,textvariable=nhours).grid(row=2,column=2)

myGUI.mainloop()

Problem is, when I type in the hours worked field, it fills in the wage rate field also. How do I make it so I can type in separate values in the fields and have it calculate the weekly pay by clicking a Calculate Pay button at the bottom?

Answer 1

Thanks for the question, here is the updated code. Now the values wont get copied to the other Entry box.

import tkinter
from tkinter import Label
from tkinter import Entry


def calculatewages():
    hours=float(myhours.get())
    nsal=float(mywage.get())
    wage=nsal*hours
    labelresult=Label(myGUI,text="Weekly Pay: $ %.2f" % wage).grid(row=7,column=2)
    return
Tk = tkinter.Tk()

myGUI=Tk
myGUI.geometry('400x200+100+200')
myGUI.title('Pay Calculator')

label1=Label(myGUI,text='Enter the number of hours worked for the week').grid(row=1, column=0)
label2=Label(myGUI,text='Enter the pay rate').grid(row=2, column=0)
mywage=Entry(myGUI).grid(row=1,column=2)
myhours=Entry(myGUI).grid(row=2,column=2)

myGUI.mainloop()
