Boolean Logic — Gold Purity

Question

#trying to see what I did wrong with this code. Only getting one output for (18K)..

purity = float(input())
if purity == 75.0 or 83.3 :
print("18K")
elif purity == 83.3 or 91.7 :
print("20K")
elif purity == 91.7 or 99.9 :
print("22K")
elif purity == 99.9 :
print("24K")

Answer 1

# anyway, in python (guess by your code), you could shorten the last 'and' statement to:

if 75.0 <= purity < 83.3:

Answer 2

If you still need the code,

I tried this and it worked for me

purity = float(input())
#your code goes here

if purity >= 99.9:
print("24K")
elif purity >= 91.7 and purity < 99.9:
print("22K")
elif purity >= 87.5 and purity < 91.7:
print("21K")
elif purity >= 83.3 and purity < 87.5:
print("20K")
elif purity >= 75.0 and purity < 83.3:
print("18K")

Answer 3

if purity == 75.0 or purity == 83.3:

# at least, plus simalar in elif statement to be valid...

"""
however, you probably need something like:
"""

if 75.0 <= purity and purity < 83.3:

# to check range instead of just two values...

Answer 4

#I think stating a range will help your code
purity = float(input())
if 75.0 <= purity <= 83.3:
print(“18K”)
#etc

Answer 5

thanks Mukhtar Al Maden!
I was stuck on that for so long and that code worked perfectly.

Answer 6

Hello Mukhtar Al Maden I have some questions about your code above: Why did you use "21K" and 87.5... I mean... where that info came from? I hope you can answer because I am still struggling to understand this test.
