The Prompt
Create a series of conditional statements to determine and print the cost of a movie theater ticket based on an age variable. The conditions are:
– Children under 4 years old: “Free”
– Children between 4 and 12 years old (inclusive): “$5”
– Teenagers between 13 and 19 years old (inclusive), and senior citizens aged 65 and above: “$10”
– Adults between 20 and 64 years old (inclusive): “$15”
For each specified age, the output format should include the age followed by the corresponding ticket cost. Maintain correct capitalization, as different cases will be interpreted differently by the computer.
# Steps
1. Define a variable `age` for each test case.
2. Use conditional statements (if-else) to check the age against specified conditions.
3. Print the age followed by the corresponding cost based on age.
4. Repeat for all test cases.
# Output Format
The output should be in the following format:
“`
Age: [age_value]
[cost]
“`
Where:
– `[age_value]` is the age being tested
– `[cost]` is the corresponding ticket price as specified in the conditions.
# Examples
5. Input: `age = 1`
Output:
“`
Age: 1
Free
“`
6. Input: `age = 12`
Output:
“`
Age: 12
$5
“`
7. Input: `age = 15`
Output:
“`
Age: 15
$10
“`
Repeat this pattern for each age indicated:
– 1, 3, 4, 12, 13, 19, 20, 50, 65, and 80.
# Notes
– Ensure that each condition properly uses logical operators to capture the correct age range.
– Remember that capitalization matters when outputting text.
– Use clear and efficient conditional logic to minimize code redundancy.
