● Where does this app use conditionals (if-statements)?

Step 2 - Plan
Variables: Fill in the table below for each variable you'll need to create.
Variable Name What the Variable Stores

age This represents the age of the person buying a ticket

discount This represents the “FREEFRIDAY” discount

day This represents the day of the week

price This represents the price of the ticket

Conditionals: Draw a flowchart that follows the rules below. There's more than one way to do it. Use the table to make
sure that your flowchart works for different combinations of age, day, and discount code.

● On the weekends ("Saturday" and "Sunday") everyone pays full price of $10
● On weekdays (Monday through Friday) if you are 18 years or younger you pay $5.
● If you use the discount code "FREEFRIDAY" on a Friday you get in for $0. No other discount codes will work
and the code only works on Fridays.

Age Day Discount Code Price If discount == “FREEFRIDAY” && day == “Friday”
18 Monday none $5
18 Saturday none $10
50 Monday none $10
50 Saturday none $10 True False
price = 0 age <= 18 && day != "Saturday") && day !=
18 Tuesday FREEFRIDAY $5
"Sunday"
50 Friday FREEFRIDAY $0
18 Friday FREE $5
50 Friday FREE $10 True False
price == price/2 price = 10

Step 3 - Write Your Code
● Write the code for the app, using your plan above and the comments provided in Code Studio to help
● Step You Can Follow
○ Create all the variables from your table above.
○ Give your variables a starting value using the assignment operator (=)
○ Create an event handler (onEvent) for the "calculate_button"
○ Inside the event handler start writing code for your conditional using your flowchart
○ Test your code as you go using the table below. At the end it should work for every combination of
outputs in the table on the first page.
○ Use your debugging skills to identify unexpected behavior and fix your program
○ Comment your code as you go, explaining what each event handler does
● Check the Help & Tips tab for ideas about Programming Patterns you can use
● Extension Ideas
○ Add another discount code for a different day of the week or age range
○ Make guests 65 and older always pay $5 unless they use a discount code

Step 4 - Submit
Before you submit, check the rubric below to make sure your program meets the requirements of the task.
