This program keeps crashing and i cant work out why?

Question

g = raw_input("Any other items enter the price: $")
if (g.isalpha()):
    g = 0.0
if (g.isdigit()):
    g = g
else:
    g = 0.0

Pat=(raw_input('And how many of this item:'))
if (Pat.isalpha()):
    Pat = 0.0
if (Pat.isdigit()):
    Pat = Pat
else:
    Pat = 0.0

g_ = (Pat * g)
Total = (a_ + b_ + c_ + d_ + e_ + f_ + g_)
print'Total: $',Total, '''

It keeps returning the error:

TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str'

This line is just assigning a string back

if (Pat.isdigit()):
    Pat = Pat

I assume you meant

if (Pat.isdigit()):
    Pat = int(Pat)

Same for `g`. `if (g.isdigit()): g = g` will return `g` as `str`. – Brad Solomon Aug 11 '17 at 13:44

You should convert your variables to `float` and `int` if you are expecting to do arithmetic with them. I recommend you find a good Python text and read about "data types" – Cory Kramer Aug 11 '17 at 13:47
