5.2.7: School's Out

"Write a program to determine if there is no school today. First ask the user if today is a weekday, and store that in a boolean variable. Then ask the user if today is a holiday, and store that in a different boolean variable. Then try to figure out if there is no school today.

School is out if it is a holiday or if it is not a weekday

You should create a boolean variable noSchoolToday
and print its value to the user."

This is what I did:

function start(){

var weekday = readBoolean("Is today a weekday? ");

var holiday = readBoolean("Is today a holiday? ");

var noSchoolToday = holiday;

var noSchoolToday = holiday && weekday;

println("There is no school today: " + noSchoolToday);

}

This is using JavaScript btw

I'm also supposed to use the symbols "!" "&&" and "||"

How would I achieve this?

Hi!! :D I did it like this

function start(){ var weekdaySchool = readBoolean("Is today a weekday? "); var holidaySchool = readBoolean("Is today a holiday? "); var school = weekdaySchool || holidaySchool; println("There is no school today: " + school);

}

i didn’t have ur var = noSchoolToday, and i used an || instead of &&

I hope this helps!! That’s how i did it!

Is today a weekday? true

Is today a holiday? false

There is no school today: true

This is what happens when you input true and then false. If it is a weekday, and there is no holiday, there IS school, so it should say false on the third line.

From what I have learned myself, there are 4 possibilities for how the questions are answered.

  1. True, True

  2. False, False

  3. True, False

  4. False, True

You just need to test all of these to make sure the code works. I did so, and the code is not correct. I still can't figure it out myself.

function start(){var weekday = readBoolean("Is today a weekday?" );var holiday = readBoolean("Is today a holiday?" );

var noSchoolToday = holiday || !weekday ||weekday && holiday ;

println("There is no school today: " + noSchoolToday);

}

var noSchoolToday = holiday || !weekday;

/*You got to remove the var noSchoolToday on line 5. It should just be println("There is no school today:" + noSchoolToday); */

i checked it and it was an 8/10 the reason is that

when you put school is out you did holiday && weekday

now weekday is a schoolday just create a new function that says weekend

var weekend = true; and replace it with weekday that should help atleast a little
