Question

For PYTHON program you will be writing a program that will use if-else or if-elif-else statements.

Read-It-All bookstore has a book sales club where customers can earn reward points that can be used for their next purchase.

If a customer purchases 0 books, he/she earns 0 points.

If a customer purchases 1-3 books, he/she earns 5 points.

If a customer purchases 4-6 books, he/she earns 10 points.

If a customer purchases 7-8 books, he/she earns 15 points.

If a customer purchases 9 books, he/she earns 20 points.

If a customer purchases 10 or more books, he/she earns 25 points.

Write a program that asks the user to enter their name (First and last name), and the number of books that he or she has purchased this month and displays their name and the number of points they have earned for the month. Your program may run once per user, or may loop to accept multiple users.

REMEMBER to put your name on the lab with comments, and write comments in the program to tell what the program is doing.

Data for the program:

Mary Smith              5 books

John Franklin            1 book

Stewart Jones           0 books

Marvin Applegate      7 books

Ernestine Miller         8 books

Francis Butterworth   3 books

Arlene Cooper          0 books

Maryanne Fisher       2 books

Andrea Martin          10 books

Larry Andrews          9 books

PLEASE DO IN THE SIMPLEST FORM. Also, explain what it is you are doing and why. Thanks.
