Help on ValueError as err:

import math

def split_check(total,number_of_people): if number_of_people <= 1: raise ValueError("More than one people is need to split the the check") cost_per_person = math.ceil(total / number_of_people) return cost_per_person

try: total_due = float(input("What is the total? ")) number_of_people = int(input("How many people? ")) amount_due = split_check(total_due, number_of_people) except ValueError as err: print("Oh no! That's not a vaild value! Try again....") print("({})".format(err)) else: 

 print("EACH PERSON OWES ${}".format(amount_due))

Its supposed to do this: What is the total? 1
How many people? 1
Oh no! That's not a vaild value! Try again.... "More than one people is need to split the the check" Not: What is the total? 1
How many people? 1
Oh no! That's not a vaild value! Try again....
