12. A country’s central bank can “prop up” or raise the value of its currency on the market by selling additional reserves of its own currency on the open market.

Problem #4 – Logical Operators: Movie Ticket Price

The local movie theater in town has a ticket price of $12.00.

But, if you are a senior (55 and older), or are under 10, or are seeing a matinee which screens from 3 pm to 5 pm, you get the discounted price of $7.00, nice!

Hint 1: "55 and older" is INCLUSIVE

Hint 2: under 10 is EXCLUSIVE

Hint 3: the range 3 to 5 is INCLUSIVE

Hint 4: limit 1 per patron (i.e., it doesn’t compound)

Hint 5: considering there’s 3 am and pm and 5 am and pm, using a 24-hour clock (aka military time) may be an easier option (0000 to 2359)

Determine which of the two prices the customer is eligible for.

  • Givens:

    • Time of Movie (Assume whole numbers here)

    • Age of the customer

  • Result To Print Out:

    • "The ticket price is X"

Must use C# coding using conditional statements
