Answer to Question #58778 in Python for Elvis Tavarez

Question

When building an enclosure for a python the amount of area at the base of the enclosure should be proportionate to the length of the snake. The minimum needed is 1/2 square foot for each foot in length up to and including 6 and 3/4 square foot for each foot after that. e.g. 9' python needs 5.25 square feet (6 * ½ + 3 * ¾)
Create a program that asks the user how long their python is and tell them the minimum area they need for the base of its enclosure.

Answer 1

ask = input('How long is your python: ')
a = 0.0

if int(ask) <= 6:
a += float(ask)*1/2
else:
a += 3
a += (float(ask) - 6)*3/4

print(a)
