What's wrong with this code?

Question

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
var hours = readLine()!!.toInt()
var total: Double = 0.0
if(hours>5 && hours<24){
total += (5+((hours-5)*.5))
}
else if(hours>=24){
total += (15+((hours-24)*.5))
}
else{
total += hours
}
println(total)
}

Answer 1

If this is the "Parking Fee" code coach in Kotlin, well this is not an easy one.

I won't give you a straight solution, but others will do 😅😂🤣 and you won't understand anything.

What I can tell you is to be more careful at the second else if. Also, you can use "when" keyword.

total = when {
hours <= 5 -> hours * 1.0;
hours <= 24 && hours > 5 -> ...
else -> ...
}

Good luck!

Ancient Lynx See?! If all the SoloLearn users would understand that giving right away the solution and not a small or a big hint is not the way of becoming a better programmer, than this community will be great.
