Hello,
Recently picked back up the Python bug, and have started chipping away
at the warm-up exercises over @ codingbat.com.
I'm getting thru the basic stuff okay, but I'm getting a feeling that
maybe I'm not doing things the 'right' way, even though the results are
correct.
Specifically, checking if value 'a' OR value 'b' equal a certain number...
The example that I'm on at the moment (like I said, starting over at the
basics)...
http://codingbat.com/prob/p124984
My solution:
'''
Given 2 ints, a and b, return True if one if them is 10 or if their sum
is 10.
makes10(9, 10) = True
makes10(9, 9) = False
makes10(1, 9) = True
'''
def makes10(a, b):
if (a == 10) or (b == 10):
#print('Yep!')
return(True)
elif a + b == 10:
#print('Si!')
return(True)
else:
#print('Nein!')
return(False)
makes10(10,9)
#makes10(9,9)
#makes10(1,9)
In particular, the 'if (a == 10) or (b == 10): line... is there a
shorter/more compact/more correct (i.e. pythonic) way of testing to see
if a OR b is equal to 10?
Thanks,
Monte
