Python:Temperature Statistics
Learning Objectives
In this lab, you will
- Create a function to match the specifications
- Use the if/else statements to detect a range
- Use lists to store the results
Instructions
Sahara desert explorers call us for help! They want to know some statistics about the temperature in Sahara, but sometimes their thermometer fails to record the proper temperature. Help them to find which temperature is from correct recordings and which is broken and calculate statistics on given data.
During the night, the temperature in Sahara varies from -4 to -10 С. During the day, the temperature varies from 20 to 50 C.
Create a function check_input(temperature) that will return True if the temperature given as input can be from Sahara and False if it is from a broken thermometer (i.e., outside of the expected range).
Steps
Write a program to use the check_input to create a list of valid temperatures and compute their statistics:
- Create a list, where you will store the "possible" temperatures. Let's say temperatures list.
- Input five numbers one by one (in this case measurement is an integer, but great that you thought about what type to convert!). For each value, check it with your function and if the function tells that it is the possible temperature for Sahara - add this value to the temperatures list.
- Find the minimum, maximum, and average temperature in the temperatures list and print it to match the example below:
Example
input
-10 -20 20 48 21Output
The minimum value is -10, the maximum value is 48, the average value is 19.75.Hints!
- If you wrote the code to work with one input value (including reading it) you can copy-paste it 5 times. Soon we will learn how to do it easier and simpler.
- To calculate the minimum and maximum search for the function that we've learned in the List section. For average think about sum and len functions.
- Average of some values is the sum of this values, divided by the number of values.
Troubleshooting
- If you are getting an error "TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable", check that your function is expecting a single value as an input.
def check_input(value):
""" Define your function here """
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Type your code here.
