https://coderbyte.com/api/challenges/json/age-counting which contains a data key and the
value is a string which contains items in the format: key=STRING, age=INTEGER. Your goal
is to count how many items exist that have an age equal to or greater than 50, and print

import requests

# Retrieving data

# Creating list from retrieved data

# Retrieving all the ages in dataList
ages = list()
for i in range(1, len(dataList), 2):

    ages.append(int(age))

# Calculating number of ages which are equal to or greater than 50
count = 0
for i in ages:
    if i >= 50:
        count += 1

# Printing the result
