Today's challenge puts your understanding of nested conditional statements to the test. You already have the knowledge to cpmplete this challenge.
Your local library needs your help! Given the expected and actual return dates for a library book, create a program that calculates the fine (if any). The fee structure is as follows:
- If the book is returned on or before the expected return date, no fine will be charged (i.e.:
fine = 0
) - If the book is returned afted the expected return day but still within the same calendar month and year as the expected return date,
fine = 15 Hackos x (the number of days late)
. - If the book is returned after the expected return month but still within the same calendar year as the expected return date, the
fine = 500 Hackos x (the number of months late)
. - If the book is returned after the calendar year in which it was expected, there is a fixed fine of
10000 Hackos
.
The first line contains 3
space-separated integers denoting the respective day
, month
and year
on which the book was actually returned.
The second line contains 3
space-separated integers denoting the respective day
, month
and year
on which the book was expected to be returned (due date).
- 1 ≤
D
≤ 31 - 1 ≤
M
≤ 12 - 1 ≤
Y
≤ 3000 - It is guaranteed that the dates will be valid Gregorian calendar dates
Print a single integer denoting the library fine for the book received as input.
9 6 2015
6 6 2015
45
Given the following return dates :
Actual : Da = 9, Ma = 6, Ya = 2015
Expected : De = 6, Me = 6, Ye = 2015
Because Ye ≡ Ya , we know it is less than a year late
Because Me ≡ Ma , we know it's less than a month late
Because De < Da , we know that it was returned late (but still within the same month and year)
Per the library's fee structure, we know that our fine will be 15 Hackos x (# days late)
. We then print the result of 15 x (Da - De) = 15 x (9-6) = 45 as our output.
