Question

Write a program called DeliveryCharges for the package delivery service in Exercise 4. The program should again use an array that holds the 10 zip codes of areas to which the company makes deliveries. Create a parallel array containing 10 delivery charges that differ for each zip code. Prompt a user to enter a zip code, and then display either a message indicating the price of delivery to that zip code or a message indicating that the company does not deliver to the requested zip code.

Answer 1

Answer:

zip_codes = ["11111", "22222", "33333", "44444", "55555", "66666", "77777", "88888", "99999", "00000"]

charges = [3.2, 4, 1.95, 5.7, 4.3, 2.5, 3.8, 5.1, 6.6, 7.3]

deliver = False

index = -1

zip_code = input("Enter the zip code: ")

for i in range(len(zip_codes)):

   if zip_code == zip_codes[i]:

       deliver = True

       index = i

       break

if deliver:

       print("The charge of delivery to " + zip_codes[index] + " is $" + str(charges[index]))

else:

   print("There is no delivery to " + zip_code)

Explanation:

*The code is in Python.

Initialize the zip_codes array with 10 zip codes

Initialize the charges array with 10 corresponding values

Initialize the deliver as False, this will be used to check if the zip code is in the zip_codes

Initialize the index, this will be used if the zip code is a valid one, we will store its index

Ask the user to enter the zip_code

Create a for loop that iterates the length of the zip_codes array. Inside the loop:

Check if the zip_code is equal to the any of the items in the zip_codes. If it is, set the deliver as True, set the index as i, and break

When the loop is done, check the deliver. If it is True, then print the charge of the delivery. Otherwise, print that there is no delivery to that zip code
