Insurance Premium Calculation

This programming assignment focuses on developing a Python program to calculate insurance earnings based on different premium types (basic, intermediate, comprehensive). The program takes user input for company name, year, and the number of policies sold for each type. It then calculates and displays the earnings for each premium type and the total earnings. The assignment also includes test data sets demonstrating both normal program functioning and abnormal behavior when invalid data types are entered (e.g., strings instead of integers).

1. Algorithm
Variable setting: basic premium at 500, intermediate premium at 650 and comprehensive
premium at 800
Print output: Enter the following details
User Input: Company name
While loop: Ensures the program runs as long as condition I met
Year
Number of each policies type sold (must be whole numbers)
Computer output: Display earnings from the basic type insurance policy
Display earnings from the intermediate type insurance policy
Display earnings from the comprehensive type insurance policy
Display earnings from the total amount for all the three policies
Functions: Calculates basic insurance earnings
Calculates intermediate insurance earnings
Calculate comprehensive premiums earnings
User input: Choose Y to repeat for another year, N to terminated the program.
If statement: checks if N/Y is chosen

b. Abnormal Functioning
The following output is for when the program is given string data i.e. words where it
expects numbers. For instance, the program expects the number of policies sold for each
type to be integers, if a user gives it a float, a double or strings it will exit with an error.

Test Data Output
Basic Premium = 2.0 Error: ValueError
