Question

You are making a ticketing system.
The price of a single ticket is $100.
For children under 3 years old, the ticket is free.

Your program needs to take the ages of 5 passengers as input and output the total price for their tickets.

Sample Input
18
24
2
5
42

Sample Output
400

my try, result is 100

https://code.sololearn.com/ccwZCY4QFqp1

age = int(input())
passenger = 5
total = 100
while passenger < 5:
if age <=3:
continue
total + 100
print (total)

SOLUTION

total = 0
#your code goes here
def passenger_ticket():

p_ages = []

age1 = int(input())
age2 = int(input())
age3 = int(input())
age4 = int(input())
age5 = int(input())

p_ages.append(age1)
p_ages.append(age2)
p_ages.append(age3)
p_ages.append(age4)
p_ages.append(age5)

price = 100
total = 0

for age in p_ages:
if age >= 3:
total += price
print(str(total))
passenger_ticket()

Answer 1

1. You have to input age for each passenger. So, this input must be inside the loop.
2. You initialize total with 100 - which is the correct total *before* adding the price for each passenger?
3. Your loop starts with passenger = 5, and tests id passenger < 5. So, it will never run. Hint: what about a for loop instead? Plus: read about "_" variable.
4. "total + 100" doesn't change total. Review the lessons on assignment operators. Hint: "+" isn't an assignment operator, but it's quite close.
5. "total + 100" is after "continue", do will never execute. Hint: instead of skipping for ages up to 3, why don't just run for ages above 3?

Answer 2

Another point: link your code from code playground in the question itself (edit it), using + button. This helps a lot those who wanna help. Just get used to do it this way, and you'll get better and faster help.
