Question

Into to Python

Instructions: • In this lab you are to debug the code found at the end of these instructions: Find and correct all problems found in the code. Create comments in the code explaining what you found and how you corrected it • The purpose of this program is to calculate car insurance rates using the following rules: The base rate of insurance is $50 a month, Males pay a 25% premium over the base rate, Drivers in Michigan and Florida pay a 10% premium over the base rate, and Individuals under the age of 21 or over the 70 pay a 5% premium over the base rate

Grading: 2 – General, compiles, comments, proper indentation, etc 4

– Problem 1 found and corrected 4

– Problem 2 found and corrected 4

– Problem 3 found and corrected 4

– Problem 4 found and corrected

if(sex = 'M'):

cost = BASE_RATE + (BASE_RATE * .25)

if(state == 'MI' or state == 'FL'):

cost = BASE_RATE + (BASE_RATE * .25)  

if(age < 21 or age > 70):

cost = BASE_RATE + (BASE_RATE * .25)

print('\nYou are a', age, 'year old ' + sex, 'and you live in ' + stateOfResidence)

Answer 1

#---------------------------------------

BASE_RATE = 50

print('Car Insurance Rate Estimator/n')

age = int(input('Enter your current age: '))

sex = input('Enter your sex: ')

state = input('Enter your state of residence: ')

cost = BASE_RATE

# assignment operator was used instead of comparison

if (sex == 'M'):

    cost = BASE_RATE + (BASE_RATE * .25)

if (state == 'MI' or state == 'FL'):

    #corrected the fraction and the formula

    cost = cost + (BASE_RATE * .1)

if (age < 21 or age > 70):

    #corrected the fraction and the formula

    cost = cost + (BASE_RATE * .05)

#wrong variable name used, corrected it

print('\nYou are a', age, 'year old ' + sex, 'and you live in ' + state)

print('Your insurance will cost $', format(cost, '.2f'), sep='')
