JavaScript
const ageYears = 5;
console.log(ageYears <= 1 ? 15 : 15 + 4 * (ageYears - 1)); // rough dog-age estimate: 31
TypeScript
const ageYears = 5;
const estimate: number = ageYears <= 1 ? 15 : 15 + 4 * (ageYears - 1);
console.log(estimate); // rough estimate, varies by size/species
Python
age = 5
print(15 if age <= 1 else 15 + 4 * (age - 1))  # simplified estimate only
Java
int age=5;
System.out.println(age <= 1 ? 15 : 15 + 4*(age-1)); // simplified estimate
C#
int age=5;
Console.WriteLine(age <= 1 ? 15 : 15 + 4*(age-1)); // simplified estimate
