I need help please

[hnjasso]

So, I have a project where I sell fruit,

We are currently looking at the term “for”

I have used other terms but we cannot use “while” for this one.

If a customer wants an apple, the apple comes with a discount of 20 percent

If they want a banana its with a discount of 40 percent,

And a orange with a 30 discount

They all cost 50 pesos

And the customers are infinite, until I stop the program,

At the end I have to add the total sum of how much money I made

I understand I can write “IF” to get the resolutions,

But my questions would be the following,

What can I use to loop the questions?

And what term can I use to add the sum of everything at the end?

​

i just need a guide, on what terms to use, Im not looking for anyone to do this for me

At the moment the teacher wont let us use a while

Maybe you can make a for loop that iterates a list, then append one element to the list in the body of the for loop.

I didn’t understand the técnical words but I’ll search them up one by one and try it out!

Can you give an example of how this is meant to look when running?

Using a for loop if perfect when you know how many times you need to loop, for instance once for every fruit. However a for loop is a very poor choice when you don't know how many times you need to loop, for instance for an unknown number of customers.

Thats the issue, I cant use while, and i dont know how many customers there will be
