CMPT 1011 Lab Assignment 2

Variables, mathematical operations and data types

Value

This coding challenge is worth 3% of your final grade.

Background

In this coding challenge you will be using variables to calculate and print the correct output.
This assignment relates to the following General Learning Outcomes:

• Explain fundamental concepts in computing science
• Examine different data types and manipulating variables

Instructions

Use Intellij Idea write your code and make sure it works for couple of examples.

Problem statement: Shopping calculator

A shopkeeper sells apples at 3$/unit, bananas at 1.8$/unit and oranges at 2.5$/unit.
He usually sells 20 apples, 50 bananas and 35 oranges per day.
However, due to extreme snowy conditions, he’s offering special discounts:

• Apples: 10% off,
• Bananas: 15% off clearance sale,
• Oranges: 10 for 22$.

Now, a customer arrives on a snowy day and wants to buy X apples, Y oranges and Z bananas.

Your task is to calculate and print the following:

Revenue from the Customer:

• Ask for the number of apples (X), oranges (Y) and bananas (Z) bought.
  For example: “How many oranges?” and “How many bananas?”
• Calculate the total cost for the customer, factoring in all discounts.
  Assignment 5
• Print: “The shopkeeper sold X apples, Y oranges and Z bananas to the customer for a total of $.”
  Whereis your total calculated price.

Usual daily revenue:

• Calculate and print the shopkeeper’s usual daily revenue based on the standard pricing.
• Print: “Usually, the shopkeeper makes ‘$’.”
  Where ‘$’ should have your calculated total revenue for X apples, Y bananas and Z oranges.

Suggestions:

• You are to solve the problem by declaring variables containing each fruit unit price.
  For example, apples_price = 3, bananas_price = 1.8 etc.
  You will also have different variable storing each fruits’ discounted price for snowy days,
  e.g. discounted_apples_price = 0.9* apples_price.
• When asking for user inputs, use descriptive variable names and correct casting to type as needed.
  For example:
  num_apples = float(input(“How many apples? “))
• Use clear variable names when calculating total revenue for the customer and the usual daily revenue.
  For example, total_customer_revenue, total_usual_revenue etc.
• In print statements, practice concatenating variable values using f-strings, the “+” or “,” operator.
  Example of f-strings:
  print(f”The shopkeeper sold {num_apples} apples, {num_oranges} oranges and {num_bananas} bananas to the customer for a total of ${total_customer_revenue}.”)
