Finding the amount of values within two numbers in python












0














Only started coding a few weeks ago but I've been having trouble seeing where I went wrong.



Goal is to write a function that takes a list of numbers as a parameter and returns the number of values that are within the numbers 24.54 & 47.54.



def count_in_range(x):

    sum = 0

    for i in x:

        if x > 24.54 and x < 47.54:

            sum = sum + 1

            return sum


Currently getting a "unorderable types: list() > float() error






python list numbers

    if x > 24.54 and x < 47.54: should be if i > 24.54 and i < 47.54: because you are iterating the list of x with element i being retrieved.

  • Also, your return sum should be outside the loop.

  • You would never have coded this bug with meaningful variable names. For example, list_of_numbers instead of x and number instead of i.

When you check the value of each item in the list, you're inadvertently checking the value of the entire list instead.



if x > 24.54 and x < 47.54:



should become



if i > 24.54 and x < 47.54:



because i is the variable that takes on the value of each item in the list as you iterate through.



Also, you want to move your return statement to outside the loop, otherwise the loop will terminate after 1 iteration.

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
