Ballpark Orders

Question

Hi, I know there is better and more efficient ways to answer this (dictionary) but I was just wondering why the code bellow does not pass Test Case #2 (Passes everother test):

order = input().split(" ")
amount = 0

for food in order:
if food == "Nachos" or food "Pizza":
amount += 6
elif food == "Cheeseburguer":
amount += 10
elif food == "Water":
amount += 4
else:
amount += 5

print(amount + (amount * 7) / 100)

For the test "Cheeseburguer Cheeseburguer Coke Water" my output is 20.33

I just want to understand the mistake in the logic

Answer 1

Davide Araujo Solved it. Took me a while because im blind but its pretty hard to see. Im guessing english is not your frist language and your logic is 100% correct good job. the problem is you spelt Cheeseburger wrong. So in your elif just make that quick fix and you should be fine.

❌ Cheeseburguer
✅ Cheeseburger

Answer 2

order = input().split(" ")
amount = 0

for food in order:
if food == "Nachos" or food == "Pizza": # Added the equality comparison operator (==)
amount += 6
elif food == "Cheeseburguer":
amount += 10
elif food == "Water":
amount += 4
else:
amount += 5

print(amount + (amount * 7) / 100)

The mistake in the logic of your code lies in the conditional statement for checking if food is equal to "Nachos" or "Pizza". You missed the equality comparison operator (==) after food == "Nachos" in the if statement.
