Python Math: Calculate wind chill index

Python Math: Exercise-29 with Solution

Write a Python program to calculate wind chill index.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

import math
v = float(input("Input wind speed in kilometers/hour: "))
t = float(input("Input air temperature in degrees Celsius: "))
wci = 13.12 + 0.6215*t -  11.37*math.pow(v, 0.16) + 0.3965*t*math.pow(v, 0.16)
print("The wind chill index is", int(round(wci, 0)))

Sample Output: 

Input wind speed in kilometers/hour: 120                                                                      
Input air temperature in degrees Celsius: 35                                                                  
The wind chill index is 40

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
