Serendipity Booksellers has a book club that awards points to its customers based on the number of books purchased each month. The points are awarded, as shown below. If the customer purchases:

  • 0 books, they earn 0 points
  • 1 book, they earn 5 points
  • 2 books, they earn 15 points
  • 3 books, they earn 30 points
  • 4 or more books, they earn 60 points.

Your program should contain the following:

  • Module main. Asks the user how many books were purchased. Passes the number of books purchased to pointsEarned.
  • Module pointsEarned. Uses a decision statement to determine the number of points earned based on the number of books purchased.

Expected Output

How many books did you purchase? 10
You earned 60 points.
