Imagine you’re reviewing a programming statement that represents the rules for who is allowed to enter a waterpark:

p OR (q AND u) OR (r AND s) OR (r AND t)

The variables stand for:

p = is over 21
q = is over 16
r = is under 21
s = has an adult with them
t = is with a school group
u = has a waiver
If you were to create a script on the waterpark website that explains who is allowed in the park, what would the output look like? (Respond in the same order as the logic statement)

1 answer

Based on the programming statement provided (p OR (q AND u) OR (r AND s) OR (r AND t)), the waterpark admission rules can be translated into plain language as follows:

Welcome to the Waterpark! Here’s who is allowed to enter:

  1. You are over 21 years old (p) - if you meet this requirement, you can enter the park.

  2. You are over 16 years old (q) AND you have a waiver (u) - if you're between 16 and 21, you can enter but only if you have a waiver.

  3. You are under 21 years old (r) AND you have an adult with you (s) - if you’re under 21, you can enter only if you are accompanied by an adult.

  4. You are under 21 years old (r) AND you are with a school group (t) - if you are part of a school group, you can enter the park even if you’re under 21.

To summarize, if you are over 21 or meet one of the following conditions, you are welcome at the park:

  • You are over 16 and have a waiver.
  • You are under 21 and with an adult.
  • You are under 21 and part of a school group.

We look forward to seeing you enjoy your time at the Waterpark!
