[ANSWERED] Having trouble with "break and continue" task.

Question

So the task is to take the age of 5 passengers boarding a plane. If a passenger is below the age of 3 then their ticket is free. Anyone older than that will be $100. After inputting the ages 5 time it will then print out how much the bill will be.

I am getting an error on line 6. Here is the error and code. Any help?

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usercode/file0.py", line 6, in <module>
age = input()
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Code:

total = 0 #Total amount of money they will pay

passengers = 5 #Amount of passengers that will be boarding

while passengers >= 0:
age = input()
if int(age) >= 3:
total += 100
else:
continue
passengers -= 1
print(total)

Answer 1

Remove the else clause.
1. The way you implemented things you don't need it.
2. The continue statement prevents the last line in the loop from executing. Because of this passengers doesn't count down correctly.

Answer 2

Hunter MacInnes

passengers should be greater than 5 so change

while passengers > 0:

And first decrement passengers by 1 then check condition and use continue.

passengers -= 1

if int(age) >= 3:
total += 100
else:
continue

Answer 3

Your while loop has six iterations (for passengers values 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0). But sololearn only gives five inputs. So the program keeps looking for the sixth input, which never comes. Change the while condition from >= 0 to > 0 and it should work.

Answer 4

Changing >=0 to >0 still gives me the same error.

Answer 5

Here you are:

total = 0 #Total amount of money they will pay
passengers = 5 #Amount of passengers that will be boarding
while passengers > 0:
passengers -= 1
age = input()
if int(age) >= 3:
total += 100
else:
continue

print(total)
