# --description--
Given a string for the day of the week, another string for a showtime, and an integer number of tickets, return the total cost of the movie tickets for that showing.
The given day will be one of:
- `"Monday"`
- `"Tuesday"`
- `"Wednesday"`
- `"Thursday"`
- `"Friday"`
- `"Saturday"`
- `"Sunday"`
The showtime will be given in the format `"H:MMam"` or `"H:MMpm"`. For example `"10:00am"` or `"10:00pm"`.
Return the total cost in the format `"$D.CC"` using these rules:
- Weekend (Friday - Sunday): $12.00 per ticket.
- Weekday (Monday - Thursday): $10.00 per ticket.
- Matinee (before 5:00pm): subtract $2.00 per ticket (except on Tuesdays).
- Tuesdays: all tickets are $5.00 each.
# --hints--
`get_movie_night_cost("Saturday", "10:00pm", 1)` should return `"$12.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_movie_night_cost("Saturday", "10:00pm", 1), "$12.00")`)
}})
```
`get_movie_night_cost("Sunday", "10:00am", 1)` should return `"$10.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_movie_night_cost("Sunday", "10:00am", 1), "$10.00")`)
}})
```
`get_movie_night_cost("Tuesday", "7:20pm", 2)` should return `"$10.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_movie_night_cost("Tuesday", "7:20pm", 2), "$10.00")`)
}})
```
`get_movie_night_cost("Wednesday", "5:40pm", 3)` should return `"$30.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_movie_night_cost("Wednesday", "5:40pm", 3), "$30.00")`)
}})
```
`get_movie_night_cost("Monday", "11:50am", 4)` should return `"$32.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_movie_night_cost("Monday", "11:50am", 4), "$32.00")`)
}})
```
`get_movie_night_cost("Friday", "4:30pm", 5)` should return `"$50.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_movie_night_cost("Friday", "4:30pm", 5), "$50.00")`)
}})
```
`get_movie_night_cost("Tuesday", "11:30am", 1)` should return `"$5.00"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_movie_night_cost("Tuesday", "11:30am", 1), "$5.00")`)
}})
