Finding the amount of values within two numbers in python
Only started coding a few weeks ago but I've been having trouble seeing where I went wrong.
Goal is to write a function that takes a list of numbers as a parameter and returns the number of values that are within the numbers 24.54 & 47.54.
def count_in_range(x):
sum = 0
for i in x:
if x > 24.54 and x < 47.54:
sum = sum + 1
return sum
Currently getting a "unorderable types: list() > float() error
python list numbers

if x > 24.54 and x < 47.54:should beif i > 24.54 and i < 47.54:because you are iterating the list ofxwith elementibeing retrieved.

Also, yourreturn sumshould be outside the loop.

You would never have coded this bug with meaningful variable names. For example,list_of_numbersinstead ofxandnumberinstead ofi.

When you check the value of each item in the list, you're inadvertently checking the value of the entire list instead.
if x > 24.54 and x < 47.54:
should become
if i > 24.54 and x < 47.54:
because i is the variable that takes on the value of each item in the list as you iterate through.
Also, you want to move your return statement to outside the loop, otherwise the loop will terminate after 1 iteration.
