关于codewars.com一个问题,Growth of a Population的python解法
Description:
In a small town the population is p0 = 1000
at the beginning of a year. The population regularly increases by 2 percent
per year and moreover 50
new inhabitants per year come to live in the town. How many years does the town need to see its population greater or equal to p = 1200
inhabitants?
如果按最高赞的或者网上的答案抄,会得到一个错误,就是结果是3而答案是4的错误,原因在下面:
At the end of the first year there will be:
1000 + 1000 * 0.02 + 50 => 1070 inhabitants
At the end of the 2nd year there will be:
1070 + 1070 * 0.02 + 50 => 1141 inhabitants (** number of inhabitants is an integer **)
At the end of the 3rd year there will be:
1141 + 1141 * 0.02 + 50 => 1213
It will need 3 entire years.
More generally given parameters:
p0, percent, aug (inhabitants coming or leaving each year), p (population to surpass)
the function nb_year
should return n
number of entire years needed to get a population greater or equal to p
.
aug is an integer, percent a positive or null floating number, p0 and p are positive integers (> 0)
import math
def nb_year(p0, percent, aug, p):
# your code
count = 0
while p0 < p:
p0 = p0 + math.floor(p0 * (percent / 100)) + aug
count +=1
return count
更简单点的:
import math
def nb_year(p0, percent, aug, p):
count = 0
while p0 < p:
p0 += p0 * percent // 100 + aug
count += 1
return count
print(nb_year(1000, 2, 50, 1214))
或者Int(p0)它也行。
人这种生物,不能有小数点啊,0.5个人算人口吗?
所以最后没办法,只好面向答案编程,取地板数,后面小数的全部不算人。
