This is my first post to the list, so tell me if I'm posting incorrectly.
You are doing fine. Welcome.
My problem is when the results are printed, I get this:
>>>
('Variable 2,', 490.0, 'is greater than', 'Variable 2,', 8.0, '.')
The parentheses, as well as the apostrophes and commas.
I'm sure it's the way I'm having the results printed after it's
through, but not sure how to correct it.
You have two problems in your code(at least!)
---------------def area2(radius):
area2r = 3.14159 * mainvar2**2
return area2r
print area2r
--------The print statement will never be called because the return
statement forces an exit from the function.
-------------------------
def return_difference_of12(var1,var2):
if var1 - var2 > 0:
y = v1,var1,v3,v2,var2,period
print y
elif var2 - var1 > 0:
z = v2,var2,v3,v2,var1,period
print z
----------------------------The assignments to y and z create tuples
(a,b,c...)So you are asking to print a tuple and Python represents tuples
by putting parens around the contents.To print them as a string use the
join() method of a string using an empty string:print ''.join([str(s) for s
in y])However this is an unusual way to print this type of output,It would
be more normal to use a format string:print "Variable2: %f id greater than
Variable1: %f." % (var1,var2)This reduces the number of variables needed
and also gives you much more control over layout because the %f markers can
be augmented with width specifiers, justificationhints etc.You can store
the entire format string in a variable if you wish - especiaslly if you
want to use it multiple times - but in your case the strings only appear
once so I wouldn't bother.HTH,-- Alan GauldAuthor of the Learn to Program
