I don't understand why this gives an Error (EOFError)

Question

I'm starting to learn to code so I have a problem and If you could please teach me.

I was doing practice 24.2 from Python for Beginners. I had to get the total cost of all tickets and each ticket cost 100 and people under 3 yo get a free ticket. I was given 5 inputs with their age.

If I run the code, I get an EOFError. I know it means End Of the File Error but i don't understand it. I did it in another way without using "continue" and it worked but still I don't know what happened here.

Btw It only happens when you input a value lower than 3

Code (python):

Answer 1

Your continue statement causes to skip adding total as well as I+=1 also. But you need to skip only adding to total. So now your code asks **atleast 5 input not lessthan 3 , instead just 5 inputs...

Answer 2

Dragen ,

i would suggest you to simplify the code:

> for all person where age is less than 3:
we don't need to do anything, remove this part of the code
> for all person where age is greater or equal than 3:
we need to update the total sum
> for all person whatever age they have, we need to increment the counter. this has to be done outside of the if conditional.

Answer 3

You need to provide all inputs in the pop-up window in the beginning as sololearn playground is not interactive.

For example:

20
21
22
23
24
then hit submit button

Read the text description in the pop-up window
