Example 1: Choosing an iPhone Based on Budget

budget = 1100  

iphone_15_price = 1204
iphone_12_price = 1099
iphone_10_price = 807

if budget >= iphone_15_price:
    print("You can buy an iPhone 15!")
elif budget >= iphone_12_price:
    print("You can buy an iPhone 12!")
elif budget >= iphone_10_price:
    print("You can buy an iPhone 10!")
else:
    print("You don't have enough money to buy an iPhone.")
