your ticket is S20
if you want to exit press quit

Answer 1

try this out:

import sys


print('welcome to cinema')
def msg():
    exit = input('if you want to exit press quit')
print()

while True:
    age = input(' enter your age  ')
    if age == 'quit':
        break
    age = int(age)
    if age < 3:
        print('your ticket is free')
    elif age < 10:
        print('your ticket is S10')
    else:
        print('your ticket is S20')
    exit = input("do you want to quit (y/n): ")
    if exit in ["y", "yes"]:
        sys.exit('stopped')

Answer 2

The problem is that you're calling msg() recursively from itself.

1. The user enters their age in the first msg() function.
2. You print their ticket price and call msg() again recursively.
3. This time they type "quit", and the recursive function correctly exits.
4. However, the original msg() function is still running, so it prompts again.
