Question 67

A Python program that calculates package shipping costs based on the postcode and weight is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

1  shippingCost = 0
2  postcode = input("Enter your postcode: ")
3  while len(postcode) > 7:
4      errorMessage = "Invalid postcode format"
5      postcode = input(errorMessage)
6  weight = int(input("Enter package weight in kg: "))
7  if weight < 5:
8      shippingCost = 5
9  else:
10     shippingCost = weight * 1.5
11  print(shippingCost)

The shipping cost for packages weighing 5 kg or more is changed to include an additional flat-rate surcharge of £4.

Rewrite line 10 in Figure 1 to show this change.

Your answer must be written in Python.
