Help,I don't know what else I can write. I'm a little confused.🙀 Plz teach me master python. The problem↓ thanks a lot😭

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. Code↓ total = 0 #your code goes here age=int(input()) for i in range(5) if age <=3: i+=1 continue

I think you have a few errors, mostly in the logic, not the actual coding. You don't output a total, you don't even calculate the total. Also, I'd check the idea behind your loop.

the task is quite simple: (it is an exercise from the old `python for beginners` tutorial) > create a variable that can hold a running counter, e.g. `count` > use a loop to take 5 individual values (age) as input. > fof each input do: check if age is greater or equal to 3 > if yes: increment `count` by 1 > if no: do nothing > when all inputs are done and evaluated, output the variable `count` multiplied by 100, this the total cost of tickets.

I think I read this question somewhere, but can remember where it is. There is something missing in your description. Your program needs to take the ages of 5 passengers as input
 How are the input separated? Is it a list, or a string each age are separated by comma? Also as Ausgrindtube said, the errors are mostly logical. "for i in range(5)" will produce 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. If you want to loop through each item in a list, such as a shopping_list, it should be "for item in shopping_list". Also you are required to output the total price for their tickets, you set the variable "total" in place, but your code didn’t utilize it.

There are several errors in the code you provided: 1. Syntax Error: There's a missing colon after "for i in range(5)". 2. Logical Error: You're trying to input the age of passengers only once, outside of the loop. You need to input the age inside the loop for each passenger. 3. Incorrect Use of the " i" Variable: The use of "i" inside the loop is incorrect. You should be using "age" instead. 4. Incorrect Conditional Check: The "if age <= 3" check is outside of the loop, and you are not updating the "age" variable for each passenger.
