Firstly, you don't need "compute". Every function computes. Secondly, fix the spelling of temperature. Thirdly, we can make it easier to read by spreading it out. ############################################################## def wind_chill_temperature( T:'Temperature, dF',s:'Wind speed, mph')->'dF': 'http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/iln/tables.htm#heat index' if T < 40: return 35.74 + 0.6215*T + s**0.16*(T*0.4275-35.75) else: return T There is no shortage of newlines. They are a renewable resource, don't be afraid to use a couple of extra lines to make your code more readable. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
