Hello tutor, What's the simplest way of creating a list with a range
of numbers above and below a given number?
see the function below:
def within_range( self, number, median, threshold=5 ):
# build a list of (threshold) numbers above and below median
range_list = range( median - threshold, median )
range_list.extend( range( median, median + ( threshold + 1 ) ) )
if __debug__: print "number %s, median %s, within range %s,
list %s, list length %s" % ( number, median, number in range_list,
range_list, len( range_list ) )
if number not in range_list: return False
return True
this works fine, but is there a simpler way of doing it? a one liner? :)
This either returns True or False depending upon whether the passed in
number is within threshold of the median ... something like (untested):
def within_range(number, median, threshold=5):
return threshold-median<number<threshold+median
Of course, the ranges you're testing with are all integers, so you may
want to check for that as well.
