4. Try writing the code to create these loop statements:
a. A program that will keep letting me add money to a piggy bank untIl I get to
£100.
Answer:
piggy_bank = 0
while piggy_bank < 100:
amount = float(input("Enter amount to add to piggy bank: £"))
Name:
Class: Date:
piggy_bank += amount
print(f"Total savings: £{piggy_bank}")
print("Congratulations! You have saved £100.")
Copy and paste your working code here:
b. A program that will let me keep adding a monthly payment for 12 months.
Answer:
total_savings = 0
monthly_payment = float(input("Enter your monthly payment amount: £"))
for month in range(1, 13):
total_savings += monthly_payment
print(f"Month {month}: Total savings so far: £{total_savings}")
print("12 months completed! Final savings: £", total_savings)
