def computeFare(zone, ticketType):
     """
     Takes as two parameters: the zone and the ticket type.
     Returns the LIRR Transit fare, as follows:

     If the zone is 1 and the ticket type is "peak", the fare is 8.75.
     If the zone is 1 and the ticket type is "off-peak", the fare is 6.25.
     If the zone is 2 or 3 and the ticket type is "peak", the fare is 10.25.
     If the zone is 2 or 3 and the ticket type is "off-peak", the fare is 7.50.
     If the zone is 4 and the ticket type is "peak", the fare is 12.00.
     If the zone is 4 and the ticket type is "off-peak", the fare is 8.75.
     If the zone is 5, 6, or 7 and the ticket type is "peak", the fare is 13.50.
     If the zone is 5, 6, or 7 and the ticket type is "off-peak", the fare is 9.75.
     If the zone is greater than 8, return a negative number (since your calculator does not handle inputs that high).
