Program dateable.py

• Problem description

• For a single user-supplied age, tell them how old a person must be to have dating be acceptable according to the following folk rule:

• You should only date someone who is at least seven years older than than half your age.

• For example, an 18 year old needs to date somebody at least 16 year's old (i.e., 7 + ( 18 / 2 ) ).

---

• Requirements

• The dateable age is to be calculated by using the above folk rule.

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

• The displayed dateable age is to be integer.

---

• Three different possible program runs

  Enter your age (integer): 19

  19 year olds should date somebody who is at least 16 years old

  Enter your age (integer): 22

  22 year olds should date somebody who is at least 18 years old

  Enter your age (integer): 88

  88 year olds should date somebody who is at least 51 years old

---

• Suggested algorithm

• Prompt user to supply an integer age

• Convert user reply to integer

• Compute minimum age according to dateability formula

• Print the result of the computation
