Ex 11: Age Verification

Problem​

We’re building a system to verify user age for access. The input will come as a string, which we must convert to a number before checking.

Rules​

• Define verify_age(age_str: str) -> str.
• Convert the string to an integer using int().
• Return "Access Granted" if the age is 18 or older.
• Otherwise return "Access Denied".

Boilerplate​

Copy below code and paste to our IDE for head start.

# Write our code inside this function
def verify_age(age_str: str) -> str:
    pass # remove this

# Call with test data
print(verify_age("20"))
print(verify_age("16"))

Expected Output​

Access Granted
Access Denied

Solution​

Only view the solution after trying our best.

def verify_age(age_str: str) -> str:
    age = int(age_str)
    return "Access Granted" if age >= 18 else "Access Denied"

# Test calls
print(verify_age("20"))
print(verify_age("16"))
