[FIXED] Using while loop in python

Issue

a movie theater charges different ticket prices depending on a person's age. if a person is under the age of 3, the ticket is free; if they are between 3 and 12,the ticket is $10; and if they are over age 12 the ticket is $15. write a loop in which you ask users their age and then tell them cost of their movie tickets.

please let me know what's wrong i am doing in code!

prompt = input("Please enter your age: ")
prompt += " \nEnter 'quit' to exit"

age = 0
while age <= 3:
    age = input(prompt)
    print("Your Ticket is free!")
    if age <= 12 :
        print("Your ticket cost $10")
    else:
        print("your Ticket cost $15")

Solution

There are plenty of things wrong with your code:

• default datatype for input() method is str so you need to convert it into int

• without checking any condition you're printing print("Your Ticket is free!")

• Not sure why you're using prompt += " \nEnter 'quit' to exit"

• condition on while loop

You can use below code

age = 1  # simply intializing value for 1st condition to be True

# loop will break if you enter 0
while True:
    age = int(input("Please enter your age(Enter 0 to quit): "))
    if age == 0:
        break
    if age < 3:
        print("Your ticket is free")
    elif age > 12:
        print("your Ticket cost $15")
    else:
        print("your Ticket cost $10")
