Why am I getting no output for this code?

Question

I'm stuck finding the total of 5 tickets
age = int(input())
b = 0
total = 0
while True:

b <=5
b+=1
if age > 2:
total = total + 100

print(total)

Answer 1

Hi James!
That's because your code doesn't check all inputs since you declared input variable outside loop. So, it always checks first input and ignores the rest.
Also, b should start from 1 for taking 5 inputs.
Here it is your working code

b = 1
total = 0
while b <=5:
age = int(input())
b+=1
if age > 2:
total = total + 100
if age>=2:
continue
print(total)

Answer 2

Because the while loop is not stopping...
Its continuing infinitely...
You need to stop that to get output

Answer 3

James Murphy happy coding 😄

Answer 4

How about this one? :-

print(sum(100 * (int(input()) > 2) for i in range(5)))

# Hope this helps
# Happy coding!

Thanks very much, this has been driving me mad.

James Murphy Would you mind posting the question here? Thank you.

Answer 8

You are making a ticketing system.
The price of a single ticket is $100.
For children under 3 years of age, the ticket is free.

Your program needs to take the ages of 5 passengers as input and output the total price for their tickets.

Sample Input
18
24
2
5
42

Sample Output
400

Answer 9

I've updated my code but now am getting 600 (at least I have an output) but should get 200.

Answer 10

age = int(input())
b = 0
total = 0
while b <=5:
b+=1
if age > 2:
total = total + 100
if age>=2:
continue
print(total)

Answer 11

You need to indent statements under loop

Answer 12

You need to use 'break' statement
