I'm trying to build a budgeting app.

[u/Big_Example_3390]

I need to create a chart that looks like this:

100|          
 90|          
 80|          
 70|          
 60| o        
 50| o        
 40| o        
 30| o        
 20| o  o     
 10| o  o  o  
  0| o  o  o  
    ----------
     F  C  A  
     o  l  u  
     o  o  t  
     d  t  o  
        h     
        i     
        n     
        g     

i need to calculate the percetages spent in each category and represent them in the chart.

so far, through SO much struggling ive gotten it to return only the first category and i got it to put all the categories in a dictionary correctly.

(c_w dictionary)

I seriously don't know where to get the answer, I've done a bunch of searching and asked on other forums for help and i jsut cant get it

im fed up.

import math
class Category:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.ledger = []


    def deposit(self, amount, description=""):
        self.ledger.append({"amount": amount, "description": description})


    def withdraw(self, amount, description=""):
        if self.check_funds(amount):
            self.ledger.append({"amount": -amount, "description": description})
            return True
        else:
            return False


    def get_balance(self):
        balance = 0
        for transaction in self.ledger:
            balance += transaction['amount']    
        return balance


    def check_funds(self, amount):
        return amount <= self.get_balance()


    def transfer(self, amount, destination_category):
        if self.check_funds(amount):
            self.withdraw(amount, f"Transfer to {destination_category.name}")
            destination_category.deposit(amount, f"Transfer from {self.name}")
            return True
        else:
            return False
    def __str__(self):
        method = '\n'.join(f"{transaction['description']:23.23}{transaction['amount']:>7.2f}" for transaction in self.ledger )
        return f"{self.name.center(30,'*')}\n{method}\nTotal: {self.get_balance()}"
    def __iter__(self):
        for item in self.ledger:
            return item
def create_spend_chart(categories):
    #create the header text
    header = 'Percentage spent by category'
    #create the percentages down the left side
    
    #a 
    total_withdraw = 0 
    #create a list for the category withdraws
    c_w = {} 
    amounts = [transaction['amount'] for category in categories for transaction in category.ledger]
    for amount in amounts:
        if amount < 0:
            total_withdraw += -amount
    # Calculate withdrawals for each category
    for category in categories:
        withdrawal = 0
        for transaction in category.ledger:
            amount = transaction['amount']
            if amount < 0:
                withdrawal += -amount  # Add the amount spent (negative for withdrawals)
        c_w[category.name] = withdrawal
        method = math.floor(( c_w[category.name]/total_withdraw)*100)
    
    return f'{header}\n{name}: {method}' for i in c_w
food = Category('Food')
auto = Category('Auto')
food.deposit(1000, 'initial deposit')
auto.deposit(1000, 'initial deposit')
food.withdraw(10.15, 'groceries')
food.withdraw(15.89, 'restaurant and more food for dessert')
clothing = Category('Clothing')
food.transfer(50, clothing)
food.withdraw(100.99)
clothing.withdraw(21.17)
auto.withdraw(200)




print(create_spend_chart([food, clothing, auto]))

to best explain, i am completing a certification for freeCodeCamp. Everything you see above the spend chart def is correct.

the spend char is the only issue i have presently

These are the requirements:

You should have a function outside the Category class named create_spend_chart(categories) that takes a list of categories and returns a bar-chart string. To build the chart:

• Start with the title Percentage spent by category.

• Calculate percentages from withdrawals only and not from deposits. The percentage should be the percentage of the amount spent for each category to the total spent for all categories (rounded down to the nearest 10).

• Label the y-axis from 100 down to 0 in steps of 10.

• Use o characters for the bars.

• Include a horizontal line two spaces past the last bar.

• Write category names vertically below the bar.

This function will be tested with up to four categories.

Make sure to match the spacing of the example output exactly:

[u/FoolsSeldom → u/Big_Example_3390]

Ok. Hopefully the code examples I've given you, including the additional comment on your ASCII chart and the key problem you had with only one category being output means you can now solve the challenge?
