EXERCISE 1-APPLY

Write a python program using selection that will read two different ages and display the
youngest age (use repl.it). Create an algorithm first using simple English words and then
translate it into the code.

Algorithm Solution

Read in a value and assign it to age1

Read in a value and assign it to age2

if the age1 is less than age2

assign age1 to youngest, print it
else
assign age2 to youngest, print it

Code Solution
age1= int(input("Enter the first person age: "))
age2= int(input("Enter the second person age: "))

if (age1 < age2):

young = age1

else:
young = age2

print ("The Youngest age is ", young)

EXERCISE 2 -APPLY

Write a program that displays a menu of two choices “1. Express, 2. Standard”. The user will
then select their option. The program should then display 4000 for express cost or 2500 for
stander visa processing (use repl.it). Create an algorithm first using simple English words and
then translate it into the code.

Algorithm Solution

Ask user to input a Visa Type of either 1 for Express or 2 for Standard
Read in the value entered and assign it to Visa Type

Reset the Visa Charge to 0

if the Visa Type is 1
assign 4000 to the Visa Charge
Else if the Visa Type is 2
assign 2500 to the Visa Charge
else
assign 0 to the visa charge
Print error message “invalid choice.”

print the Visa Charge

Solution

VisaType= int(input("Select the visa type? \n1.Express \n2.Standard\n"))

VisaCharge=0
if (VisaType==1):
VisaCharge=4000
else:
VisaCharge=2500

print ("Visa Charge is ", VisaCharge)

EXERCISE 3-APPLY

Write a program that reads the student mark and absent percentage and display proper
message considering the pass mark is 60 and the course drop rate is 15%. Create an algorithm
first using simple English words and then translate it into the code.

Algorithm Solution

Ask user to input the mark

Read in the value entered and assign it to mark

if the mark >= 60

print pass
else
print fail

Ask user to input the absence rate

Read in the value entered and assign it to absence

if the absence >= 15

print drop from course
else
print continue on course

Solution

mark = input("Enter your mark: ")

mark = float(mark)

if (mark>=60):
print ("Pass")
else:
print ("Fail")

absence = input("Enter your absence percentage: ")

absence = float(absence)

if (absence>=15):
print ("Drop from the course ")
else:
print ("Continue the course")

EXERCISE 4 -APPLY
Write a program that displays a menu of two choices “1. UAE, 2. Non-UAE” and the user
will select his option, the program read the user age and display if he is eligible for the
National Medial Card or not. Users with UAE citizenship and age greater than 18 years old

4
are eligible (use repl.it). Create an algorithm first using simple English words and then
translate it into the code.

Screenshot

Algorithm Solution

Ask user to input a Nationality Code of either 1 for UAE or 2 for Non-UAE
Read in the value entered and assign it to Nationality Code

Ask user to input age

Read in the value entered and assign it to age

if the Nationality code is 1 and the age >= 18

print You are eligible for the National Medical Card

else
print You are NOT eligible for the National Medical Card

Solution

Ncode = input("Choose your nationality: \n1.UAE \n2.Non UAE\n")

Ncode=int(Ncode)

age =input("Enter your age: ")

age=int(age)

if ((Ncode==1) and (age >= 18)):

print ("You are eligible for the National Medical Card")
else:

PRINT ("YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE NATIONAL MEDICAL

CARD")

EXERCISE 5 -APPLY

5
Write a program that reads age of a person and displays “Entry restricted to mall” if the given
age is below 10 or above 69, otherwise display “You can enter the mall”(use repl.it). Create
an algorithm first using simple English words and then translate it into the code.

Algorithm Solution

Ask user to input age

Read in the value entered and assign it to age

if the age <10 or the age > 69

print Entry restricted to mall

else
print You can enter the mall

Solution

age =input("Enter your age: ")

age=int(age)
if ((age < 10) or (age > 69)):
print ("Entry restricted to mall ")
else:

PRINT ("YOU CAN ENTER THE MALL ")
