Question

1. Any amount of time less than or equal to one hour, the parking fee is 5.00. This means if your parked for 5, 15, 55 or 60 minutes you pay $5.00

Minutes parked	Hrs*Fee=parking fee
25 minutes (0 hour and 25 minutes)	1*5.00
05 minutes (0 hour and 5 minutes)	1*5.00
55 minutes (0 hours and 55 minutes)	1*5.00
30 minutes (0 hour and 30 minutes)	1*5.00
10 minutes (0 hour and 10 minutes)	1*5.00
60 minutes (1 hour and 0 minutes)	1*5.00

2. Any amount of time greater than one hour but less than or equal to 5 hours (300 minutes), the parking fee is 4.00 per hour and any fraction thereof. This means:

Minutes parked	Hrs*Fee=parking fee
65 minutes (1 hour and 5 minutes)	2*4.00
95 minutes (1 hour and 35 minutes)	2*4.00
120 minutes (2 hours)	2*4.00
135 minutes (2 hour and 15 minutes)	3*4.00
180 minutes (3 hour and 0 minutes)	3*4.00
195 minutes (3 hour and 15 minutes)	4*4.00
240 minutes (4 hours)	4*4.00
260 minutes (4 hours 20 minutes )	5*4.00
300 minutes (5 hours)	5*4.00

3. Any amount of time greater than 5 hours, the parking fee is 2.00 per hour and any fraction.

Minutes parked	Hrs*Fee = parking fee
320 minutes (5 hour and 20 minutes)	6*2.00
400 minutes (6 hour and 40 minutes)	7*2.00
800 minutes (13 hour and 20 minutes)	14*2.00
825 minutes (13 hour and 45 minutes)	14*2.00
600 minutes (10 hours)	10*2.0

my work:

rate1=5
rate2=4
rate3=2
fees=0
minutes = int(input("Please Enter the number of minutes parked : "))
print(minutes)
if minutes>=0 and minutes<=60:
    if minutes%60==0:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)
        fees=hrs*rate1
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
    else:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)+1
        fees=hrs*rate1
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
elif minutes>60 and minutes<=300:
    print("It Falls in Table 2")
    if minutes%60==0:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)
        fees=hrs*rate2
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
    else:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)+1
        fees=hrs*rate2
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
elif minutes>300:
    print("It Falls in Table 3")
    if minutes%60==0:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)
        fees=hrs*rate3
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
    else:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)+1
        fees=hrs*rate3
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ", fees)
    else:
    print("Invalid Minutes")

getting error line 36
else:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax    please help.

Answer 1

The error in the line 36 is nothing but the indentation error.

You wrote two else statements in the second elif condtition (i.e., elif minutes>300:) but actually it should be act as else statement for the first if condition (i.e., if minutes>=0 and minutes<=60:)

That's why it shown the syntax error.

I changed the code now it works perfectly

proof with output:

corrected code:

rate1=5
rate2=4
rate3=2
fees=0
minutes = int(input("Please Enter the number of minutes parked : "))
print(minutes)
if minutes>=0 and minutes<=60:
    if minutes%60==0:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)
        fees=hrs*rate1
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
    else:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)+1
        fees=hrs*rate1
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
elif minutes>60 and minutes<=300:
    print("It Falls in Table 2")
    if minutes%60==0:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)
        fees=hrs*rate2
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
    else:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)+1
        fees=hrs*rate2
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
elif minutes>300:
    print("It Falls in Table 3")
    if minutes%60==0:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)
        fees=hrs*rate3
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ",fees )
    else:
        hrs=int(minutes/60)+1
        fees=hrs*rate3
        print("Parking Fees (in $) is ", fees)
else:
    print("Invalid Minutes")
