Operators are special symbols and keywords that help perform an operation or computation on one or more values or variables.
The values or variables that the operator works on are called operands.
Arithmetic operators are used with numeric values to perform common mathematical calculations.

Imagine you are buying movie tickets for a weekend outing. Write a Python program that asks for the movie details, calculates the total cost, and prints out a receipt.
Write a Python program that does the following:
Ask for Input:
Ask the user for the movie name (text).
Ask the user for the price of one ticket (decimal number/float).
Ask the user how many tickets they want to buy (whole number/integer).
Calculate:
Multiply the ticket price by the number of tickets to find the total cost.
Print the Receipt:
Use an f-string to display the movie name, ticket count, and total cost.
Use a dashed line ("-" * 25) to make your output look neat.
Solution
# ==========================================
# EXERCISE: MOVIE TICKET RECEIPT GENERATOR
# ==========================================
print("--- Cinema Ticket Kiosk ---")
# 1. Gather user inputs (all inputs start as strings)
movie_title = input("Enter movie title: ")
ticket_price = float(input("Enter price per ticket ($): "))
ticket_count = int(input("Enter number of tickets: "))
# 2. Calculate the total cost using arithmetic
total_cost = ticket_price * ticket_count
# 3. Print a clean, itemized receipt
print("-" * 25)
print(f"Movie: {movie_title}")
print(f"Quantity: {ticket_count} tickets")
print(f"Total Amount Due: ${total_cost}")
print("Enjoy the show!")
print("-" * 25)
