Python beginner

Question

Hi, I'm really new to thus programming thing...not even sure what to do😂

total = 0
while total > 3:
print (total)
total += 1
if total <= 3:
break
else:
continue

This is what I've got for finding ticket prices using while loop, break, continue thingy...

Child under 3 years of age does not need to pay.
Others cost 100 dollars per person.
And i gotta find how much it will cost for five person (five input).

I've got no idea where I got it wrong...😭 Can anyone help me out...

Answer 1

#try this

total = 0 #to initialize total variable
i = 0 # to run the loop

while i <5: # to take 5 inputs
age = int(input())
if age > 3:
total += 100
i += 1 # to increase variable i after each iteration.
print(total)

Answer 2

I don't think you need to take 5 inputs you can simply take two inputs:
1st for total number of persons
2nd for number of persons who are <=3 years.

And then you have to subtract childrens from total numbers of persons to calculate the number of persons who are >3 years of age and then simply multiply it to $100.

edit]: if you will apply this logic, no for loop or while loop will be needed.

n=int(input("total persons: "))
s=int(input("persons<=3 years: "))
print("cost will be: ", (n-s)*100)
