How to write a code that count the number of inputs and times it with a fixed number? Thank you!

Question

Question:
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.

My Answer:
age = int(input())

while True:
if age <= 3:
continue
if age > 3:
print (100)

Answer 1

ages = []

total = 0

i = 0

while i < 5:
x = int(input())
ages.append(x)
i += 1

for age in ages:
if age >= 3:
total += 100

print(total)

Note : you should write the five inputs in seperate line like this

20
24
23
26
2

Answer 2

“total = 0
for _ in range(5):
x = int(input())
if x >= 3:
total += 100
print(total)”

For this code that you wrote, what does the _ represent? Is "range" a command word? How does this code repeat five times without using the while loop? Thank you!

Answer 3

_ is not default u can use any character instead of it like i or num, ...etc but not any Python keywords

range() is a built in method and it's makes the code loop 5 times

I advise u to search 🔍🔎 about range() method and you will understand the code

Answer 4

Okkkk thank you very much!

Answer 5

I did this to manage me to loop on the five ages instead of using 5 variables ravilnicki
