Follow-up Question

How to add code (python) to mine to have the try-except validation loop so it only adds valid numbers, and does it have the new f string for output (if not I need the format fix)?
import math.
Code:

 

import math

def calculate_paint_needed(length, width, height):
    length_area = 2 * length * height
    width_area = 2 * width * height
    total_wall_area = (length_area + width_area)
    gallons_needed = total_wall_area / 100.0
    return gallons_needed

def main():
    length = float(input("Enter the length of the room in feet: "))
    width = float(input("Enter the width of the room in feet: "))
    height = float(input("Enter the height of the room in feet: "))
    gallons_needed = calculate_paint_needed(length, width, height)
    print(f"You will need {math.ceil(gallons_needed)} gallons of paint.")
    gallons_needed = calculate_paint_needed(length, width, height)
    print("You will need", gallons_needed, "gallons of paint.")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
