24K

Question

Hi everyone,

For the purity checker, is there an easier way to do this? The code works but I feel like I made it bulkier than necessary? Could I have used elif in this?

purity = float(input())
if(purity >= 75.0 and purity <= 83.2):
print('18K')

if(purity >= 83.3 and purity <= 91.6):
print('20K')

if(purity >= 91.7 and purity <= 99.8):
print('22K')

if(purity >= 99.9):
print('24K')

Answer 1

This is a little more compact and should do it. The number of lines is the same, but the if statements are shorter.

Answer 2

I see where my thought process went now. For lack of a better term, I was establishing the max and minimum twice instead of letting the prior if statement set it. Thanks for sharing that.

Answer 3

If you want to optimize, you need to avoid to go through all if statements each time. If else statements or return/ break in ifs should help
