TypeError: 'float' object is not callable in Python 3

Dung Do Tien Apr 26 2022 270

I'm just joining to learn Python from a course on Youtube, and today I learn about functional in Python and I have created a small function to help calculate the salary for employees, like this:

 import numpy as np

def calculateSalary(days , salary, offday) :
  return (days - offday) * salary

text = "Total your salary for this month is: $"
calculateSalary = calculateSalary(24, 100.23, 2)

print(text, str(calculateSalary))

text2 = "Total your salary for this month is: $"
calculateSalary = calculateSalary(24, 130.23, 0)
print(text2, str(calculateSalary))

But When I was running the code above and got an exception TypeError: 'float' object is not callable.

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 12, in <module>
    calculateSalary = calculateSalary(24, 130.23, 0)
TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

But when I tried to remove the three last lines of code it worked for me, like this:

 import numpy as np

def calculateSalary(days , salary, offday) :
  return (days - offday) * salary

text = "Total your salary for this month is: $"
calculateSalary = calculateSalary(24, 100.23, 2)

print(text, str(calculateSalary))

It really worked for me. Anyone can help me explain it?

I'm using Python 3.9 and Windows 11.

Thanks in Advance.

    This error occurs because your variable is same with your method (it's calculateSalary).

    You can change your variables to another name, see below:

     def calculateSalary(days , salary, offday) :
  return (days - offday) * salary

text = "Total your salary for this month is: $"
calculateSalary_1 = calculateSalary(24, 100.23, 2)

print(text, str(calculateSalary_1))

text2 = "Total your salary for this month is: $"
calculateSalary_2 = calculateSalary(24, 130.23, 0)
print(text2, str(calculateSalary_2))

    #Output

     Total your salary for this month is: $ 2205.06
Total your salary for this month is: $ 3125.5199999999995

    I hope it is useful for you.
