IntroductionIn Winnipeg , it is noted that wind can make the air temperature even much colder. Write a program that will uses input to read in an air temperature and a wind speed. Then use the formula below to calculate and output the windchill.
|
|---|
Step 1: Get inputs/outputs needed to solve the problem
You will need the following in order to solve this problem.
Step 2: Write the program
#######################################################################
#This program is used to calculate the wind chill of a desired location
#input
location = raw_input("What is the location?")
temperature = input("What is the current temperature in Celsius?")
windSpeed = input("What is the wind speed in kms per hour?")
#calculate windchill
windchill = 13.12 + .6215*temperature- 11.37 * (windSpeed**0.16) + 0.3965 * temperature * (windSpeed ** 0.16)
Step 3: Display the output of the program
Location: Winnipeg Current Temperature: -10.0 Celsius Wind Speed: 30.0 km/h Temperature with Windchill: -19.52049803338773 Programmed by A. Student **End of Program**
Step 4: Contrast with Calculating Area in program a day example
This Python program performs exactly the same function as the Java Calculate area program in Program a Day.
But, there only some slight differences as shown below.
