Variable in range of float

[dogginky]

Noob here just a few weeks in, So after all the reading and videos I decided it was time to do more writing.
I got side tracked and somehow ended up trying to take a variable and turn it into a float that I could check to see if it was between two floats values.
I seen where someone used pylab frange for something and got it to work right I think. Keep in mind I m very new. How do I clean this up or make a function,
Where do I go from here or put it to use....

import pylab as pl # range scale to determine outcome of a weighted purchase avg_screwed = pl.frange(0.00,6.0,0.1) avg_below = pl.frange(6.0,7.0,0.1) avg_weight = pl.frange(7.0,7.50,0.1) avg_above = pl.frange(7.50,8.0,0.1) avg_extreme = pl.frange(8.0,99.0,0.1) #get users purchase weight input user_weight = float(input('What was the weight: ')) #possible outcomes to inform the user of there purchase worth if user_weight in avg_weight:    print("You money was well spent.") elif user_weight in avg_above:    print('Nice, You did really well!') elif user_weight in avg_extreme:    print("WOW! Someone liked you.") elif user_weight in avg_below:    print('You have been shorted.') elif user_weight in avg_screwed:    print('Turn around and bend over!!!!!!') else:    print('I do not understand.')

thank you, I see I have a lot of code to study now, I remember some of what you wrote from other lessons.
Could I have had the if run a  function(assuming I had made one called play_music,,, instead of printing to the screen.
Or if I wanted to have a different calculation for each input depending on the range it was in. I would just make functions for each if ?
example below...Sry if does not make since. Ill give my self 24 to digest what you wrote

           elif user_weight in self.avg_weight:                play_music()

Sure, but play_music would have to have name of mp3 or whatever format you were using,
plus you would need to load a music package which is easy.
Find what interest you here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=s...mit=search
and install the package you choose with:

pip install packagename

code would look somoething like:

    def play_music(self):        your code here
