Problem #1Calculating Olympic Prize Money The USOC pays Olympic athletes who win

medals the following in prize money: Gold $25,000 Silver $15,000 Bronze $10,000

Calculating Olympic Prize Money How much money did they pay?

Total (46/29/29) *** Michael Phelps (4/2/0) Missy Franklin (4/0/1) Ryan Lochte (2/2/1)

*** Treats a team medal as one prize, not multiple prizes.

Steps in solving this problem Identify the prize money for each medal type

(constant over each athlete). Obtain the number of gold, silver, and bronze

medals for the athlete (different for each athlete). For each medal type, multiply the medal count

with it’s prize amount. Sum these three values to get total money won Display total amount of money won

We can do that !

Rules to Follow

Always have a header comment block with a Title, Author, Comment, and Deadline See “Resources” page for Homework Submission

Policy Take care of line wrap

Good rule of thumb is not to have a line exceeding 60-70 characters

Can look at “Col” field at bottom of IDLE to see where you are at

7

Rules to Follow

Put a comment on top of each chunk of code for the human # Get the input for number of medals from user

Use a consistent style camelCase c_style_naming

Use constants Every time you have a literal number (like 25000) GOLD_PRIZE_AMOUNT=25000
