Python: Calculate the average of the numbers a through b rounded to nearest integer, in binary
Python Programming Puzzles: Exercise-81 with Solution
Write a Python program to calculate the average of the numbers a through b ( b not included ) rounded to nearest integer, in binary (or -1 if there are no such numbers).
Input: 4 , 7 Output: 0b101 Input: 11 , 19 Output: 0b1110

Sample Solution:
Python Code:
#License: https://bit.ly/3oLErEI
def test(a,b):
r = range(a, b)
if len(r) == 0:
return "-1"
return bin(round(sum(r) / len(r)))
a = 4
b = 7
print("Range:",a,",",b)
print("Average of the numbers",a,"through",b,"rounded to nearest integer, in binary:")
print(test(a, b))
a = 11
b = 19
print("\nRange:",a,",",b)
print("Average of the numbers",a,"through",b,"rounded to nearest integer, in binary:")
print(test(a, b))
Sample Output:
Range: 4 , 7 Average of the numbers 4 through 7 rounded to nearest integer, in binary: 0b101 Range: 11 , 19 Average of the numbers 11 through 19 rounded to nearest integer, in binary: 0b1110

Python: Tips of the Day
Clamps num within the inclusive range specified by the boundary values x and y:
Example:
def tips_clamp_num(num,x,y): return max(min(num, max(x, y)), min(x, y)) print(tips_clamp_num(2, 4, 6)) print(tips_clamp_num(1, -1, -6))
Output:
4 -1
