doctor fee's coding question
Doctor’s Fees
This is one of the previous year questions of TCS NQT 2020. The question is a basic implementation of situation testing, i.e; on the basis of the given situation you need to output the correct answer

Doctor Fee’s Coding Question
Problem Statement

A doctor has a clinic where he serves his patients. The doctor’s consultation fees are different for different groups of patients depending on their age. If the patient’s age is below 17, fees is 200 INR. If the patient’s age is between 17 and 40, fees is 400 INR. If patient’s age is above 40, fees is 300 INR. Write a code to calculate earnings in a day for which one array/List of values representing age of patients visited on that day is passed as input.

Note:

Age should not be zero or less than zero or above 120
Doctor consults a maximum of 20 patients a day
Enter age value (press Enter without a value to stop):
Example 1:

Input
20
30
40
50
2
3
14
Output
Total Income 2000 INR
Note: Input and Output Format should be same as given in the above example.
For any wrong input display INVALID INPUT

Output Format

Total Income INR
Python
age = []

for i in range(20):

    m = input()

    if m =="":

        break

    elif int(m) in range(0,120):

        age.append(int(m))

    else:

        print("INVALID INPUT")

        exit()

fees = 0

for i in age:

    if i < 17:

        fees+=200

    elif i <40:

        fees+=400

    else:

        fees+=300

print("Total Income {} INR".format(fees))

Python Online Compiler

Write, Run & Share Python code online using OneCompiler's Python online compiler for free. It's one of the robust, feature-rich online compilers for python language, supporting both the versions which are Python 3 and Python 2.7. Getting started with the OneCompiler's Python editor is easy and fast. The editor shows sample boilerplate code when you choose language as Python or Python2 and start coding.

Taking inputs (stdin)

OneCompiler's python online editor supports stdin and users can give inputs to programs using the STDIN textbox under the I/O tab. Following is a sample python program which takes name as input and print your name with hello.

import sys
name = sys.stdin.readline()
print("Hello "+ name)

About Python

Python is a very popular general-purpose programming language which was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991. It is very popular for web development and you can build almost anything like mobile apps, web apps, tools, data analytics, machine learning etc. It is designed to be simple and easy like english language. It's is highly productive and efficient making it a very popular language.

Tutorial & Syntax help

Loops

1. If-Else:

When ever you want to perform a set of operations based on a condition IF-ELSE is used.

if conditional-expression
    #code
elif conditional-expression
    #code
else:
    #code

Note:

Indentation is very important in Python, make sure the indentation is followed correctly

2. For:

For loop is used to iterate over arrays(list, tuple, set, dictionary) or strings.

Example:

mylist=("Iphone","Pixel","Samsung")
for i in mylist:
    print(i)

3. While:

While is also used to iterate a set of statements based on a condition. Usually while is preferred when number of iterations are not known in advance.

while condition  
    #code

Collections

There are four types of collections in Python.

1. List:

List is a collection which is ordered and can be changed. Lists are specified in square brackets.

Example:

mylist=["iPhone","Pixel","Samsung"]
print(mylist)

2. Tuple:

Tuple is a collection which is ordered and can not be changed. Tuples are specified in round brackets.

Example:

myTuple=("iPhone","Pixel","Samsung")
print(myTuple)

Below throws an error if you assign another value to tuple again.

myTuple=("iPhone","Pixel","Samsung")
print(myTuple)
myTuple[1]="onePlus"
print(myTuple)

3. Set:

Set is a collection which is unordered and unindexed. Sets are specified in curly brackets.

Example:

myset = {"iPhone","Pixel","Samsung"}
print(myset)

4. Dictionary:

Dictionary is a collection of key value pairs which is unordered, can be changed, and indexed. They are written in curly brackets with key - value pairs.

Example:

mydict = {
    "brand" :"iPhone",
    "model": "iPhone 11"
}
print(mydict)
