Assignment 2 Specs – Tickets
The goal of this assignment is to learn how to solve a problem with a combination of if/elif/else statements and complex boolean expressions. It can be completed with solely the material from Chapters 1-3. Solutions using lists, tuples or the “in” operator will receive a zero for the assignment as those techniques are not relevant to the goal of the assignment.
90/100 Instructions
A movie theater gives discounts based on different ticket types and the day of the week:
type price
senior 9.00
child 8.00
general 10.00
Day of the Week discount
mon, tue, wed 25%
thu, fri, sat 0%
sun 10%
Ask the user:
What type of tickets they are buying. The user is limited to picking only one ticket type. Note that there’s a built in function in Python with the name type so it would be best to pick a different name for the variable.
How many tickets they are buying.
What day of the week they are going.
Use if/elif/else statements to look at the user’s input for the type and day to determine the correct price and discount.
If the user enters something other than senior, child or general charge them the general ticket price of $10.
If the user enters something other than mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat or sun charge them the full price, no discount.
Calculate and display the total cost using f-strings or the format function to limit it to two decimal places.
