Assignment: Theme Park Ride Checker

Due 10/14 at 11:59

Theme parks use rules to decide who can ride each attraction. Some rides require a minimum height and age. Others let shorter guests ride if they are with an adult.

Write a program that asks the user a few questions and tells them which rides they are allowed to ride. Your program must meet the following specifications:

• Ask the user for their age (as a number)
• Ask the user for their height in inches (as a number)
• Ask the user if they are with an adult (yes or no)
• Check eligibility for all three rides below using if statements and logical operators (and, or, not)
• Print whether the user can ride each ride

Ride Rules

For example, a 10-year-old who is 50 inches tall and not with an adult should be able to ride the Mini Coaster and River Rapids, but not the Big Drop.

Logical Operators

Use and when all conditions must be true:

if age >= 8 and height >= 42:
    print("You can ride the Mini Coaster!")

Use or when at least one condition must be true:

if height >= 48 or with_adult == "yes":
    print("You can ride River Rapids!")

Example Code

Here is a starting point. Fill in the TODO comments to meet the specifications above!

# Ask the user for their age and height
age = int( input("How old are you? ") )
height = int( input("How tall are you (in inches)? ") )

# Ask the user if they are with an adult
with_adult = input("Are you with an adult? (yes/no): ")

# Check eligibility for each ride
# TODO: Mini Coaster

# TODO: Big Drop

# TODO: River Rapids
