New Topic/Question
Reply
I would like to start by describing the goal my current project and the issue(s) I have with my current design/code.
The goal is to create a prompt that calculates speeding violation costs and output the fines and misc. information of the
driver.
Now what's troubling me is creating IF...THEN statements with the Boolean operator.
E.g. The prompt would print "Were you driving in a school zone? (True/False)"
I want to use the scanned input of True or False and make it do something else such as adding to the original fine.
Here's what I have so far, it's quite a lengthy chunk of code, but I appreciate any guidance that I receive.
I'm not here to ask for a solution then run with it, I'm here to seek a viable fix that I can learn from. Thank you.
P.S. I've commented out a large portion of my code because I'm still designing the logic behind my program.
