Python: Test whether a number is within 100 of 1000 or 2000

Python Basic: Exercise-17 with Solution

Write a Python program to test whether a number is within 100 of 1000 or 2000.

Python abs(x) function:

The function returns the absolute value of a number. The argument may be an integer or a floating point number. If the argument is a complex number, its magnitude is returned.

Python: Test whether a number is within 100 of 1000 or 2000

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

def near_thousand(n):
      return ((abs(1000 - n) <= 100) or (abs(2000 - n) <= 100))
print(near_thousand(1000))
print(near_thousand(900))
print(near_thousand(800))   
print(near_thousand(2200))

Sample Output:

True                                                                                                          
True                                                                                                          
False                                                                                                         
False

Previous: Write a Python program to get the difference between a given number and 17, if the number is greater than 17 return double the absolute difference.
Next: Write a Python program to calculate the sum of three given numbers, if the values are equal then return thrice of their sum.

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")
