Program complimenter.py

• Develop a program that first requests it user to supply an age. After reading the age, the program prints out a tasteful compliment based on the supplied age.

• The compliment must indicate that the user looks an age that is five-years less than the supplied age.

• The program is to process a single age input; i.e., the program should not attempt to get more than one input from the user.

---

Expectation

• The user will supply a single integer input in reaction to the prompt message to supply an age.

---

Requirements

• The faux (complimentary) age is the user-supplied age minus five years.

• Use separate variables for storing the user-supplied and faux ages.

• All variables should be named indicating their purpose/usage.

• Any numeric value display must be from the value of a variable (i.e., there will never be arithmetic calculations in a print() statement).

• The faux age is to be integer.

• Supply a simple and tasteful compliment.

Three different, possible sample runs

• The above section header Three different, possible sample runs means what it literally says. Each below box shows a different program run; i.e., your program is to perform single age calculation each time it is run.

  Enter your age: 19

  You do not even look 14

  Enter your age: 111

  You do not even look 106

  Enter your age: 20

  You do not even look 15

• Be aware that the testing of your program will use ages different than the above.

---

Suggested code outline

• Prompt user to supply an age

• Convert user reply to integer

• Compute supposed age

• Print the result of the computation
