To incorporate the new discount policies correctly, the code must reflect the requirements that if a client is older than 40 and buys from category "C," they receive a 55 percent discount, and all discounts for category "A" are revoked.
The correct revision of the code would look like this:
if age > 40:
# 15 percent discount
discount = discount + (0.15 * amount)
if category == 'C':
# 55 percent discount
discount = discount + (0.55 * amount)
In this revised code:
- If the age is greater than 40, a 15% discount is initially added to the total discount.
- If the category is 'C', an additional discount of 55% is added to the total discount.
- There is no mention of category 'A', as all discounts for that category have been revoked.
Now let's analyze the proposed options:
-
Option 1 (Correct):
if age > 40: # 15 percent discount discount = discount + (0.15 * amount) if category == 'C': # 55 percent discount discount = discount + (0.55 * amount)
-
Other options contain either incorrect logic or syntax errors, such as referencing category 'C' without quotes, using incorrect discount calculation (e.g.,
5.55
instead of0.55
), or including category 'A' which contradicts the requirement that its discounts are revoked.
Thus, the first option (Option 1) is the correct and revised version of the code based on the stated policies.
