Python Function Wrap

Challenge

age = input("What is your age?: ")

if int(age) < 18:
	print("Sorry, you are too young to drive this car. Powering off")
elif int(age) > 18:
	print("Powering On. Enjoy the ride!");
elif int(age) == 18:
	print("Congratulations on your first year of driving. Enjoy the ride!")

1. Wrap the above code in a function called checkDriverAge(). Whenever you call this function, you will get prompted for age. Notice the benefit in having checkDriverAge() instead of copying and pasting the function everytime?

2. Instead of using the input(). Now, make the checkDriverAge() function accept an argument of age, so that if you enter: checkDriverAge(92); it returns "Powering On. Enjoy the ride!" also make it so that the default age is set to 0 if no argument is given.

Solution

Task 1:

def checkDriverAge():
    age = input("What is your age?: ")
    if int(age) < 18:
        print("Sorry, you are too young to drive this car. Powering off")
    elif int(age) > 18:
        print("Powering On. Enjoy the ride!");
    elif int(age) == 18:
        print("Congratulations on your first year of driving. Enjoy the ride!")
checkDriverAge()

Task 2:

def checkDriverAge(age=0):
    if int(age) < 18:
        print("Sorry, you are too yound to drive this car. Powering off")
    elif int(age) > 18:
        print("Powering On. Enjoy the ride!");
    elif int(age) == 18:
        print("Congratulations on your first year of driving. Enjoy the ride!")
checkDriverAge()
