Write the functiongetInRange (x, a, b)that takes 3 float values and forces to lie between an and is not necessarily less than. If x is between the two bounds, it is returned unmodified. Otherwise, if x is less than the lower bound, return the lower bound, or if xis greater than the upper bound, return the upper bound. Use pythons as a programming language

Here is the getInRange() function:

def getInRange(x,a,b):  

   lower = min(a,b)

   upper = max(a,b)

   if(x<lower):

       x = lower

   elif(x>upper):

       x = upper

   return x

Explanation:

Here is the complete program if you want to take the input float values for x, a and b from user:

x = float(input("Enter x: "))  #prompts user to input float value of x

a = float(input("Enter a: "))  #prompts user to input float value of a

b = float(input("Enter b: "))  #prompts user to input float value of b

def getInRange(x,a,b):  #function definition

   lower = min(a,b)  #computes minimum of a and b and store it to lower

   upper = max(a,b)  #computes maximum of a and b and store it to upper

   if(x<lower):  #if value of x is less than lower bound

       x = lower  # return the lower bound by assigning the value of lower to x

   elif(x>upper):  #if value of x is greater than upper bound

       x = upper  #return the upper bound by assigning value of upper to x

   return x      #function returns the value of x

print(getInRange(x,a,b))  #calls function by passing values for x, a and b and print the result on output screen

I will explain this function with an example:

Suppose

x = 1.1

a = 3.3

b = 5.6

Now the method getInRange takes these three values as parameter and works as follows:

lower = min(a,b)  

This statement computes the minimum value of a and b by using min() method and sets the resultant value to lower variable. This becomes:

lower = min(3.3,5.6)

Since 3.3 is less than 5.6 so minimum value is 3.3 Hence

lower = 3.3

upper = max(a,b)

This statement computes the maximum value of a and b by using max() method and sets the resultant value to upper variable. This becomes:

upper= max(3.3,5.6)

Since 5.6 is greater than 3.3 so maximum value is 5.6 Hence

upper = 5.6

if(x<lower):

This statement checks if the value of x is less than value of lower

Since x = 1.1 and lower = 3.3 So, 1.1 is less than 3.3

This means the statement inside this if statement executes:

x = lower

So the value of lower is set to x, So

x = 3.3

Now the elif part will not execute. Program moves to the following statement:

return x

This will return the value of x i.e. 3.3

print(getInRange(x,a,b))    

This statement calls getInRange() method and prints the result on screen. So the output of the above program with input is:

Enter x: 1.1                                                                                                                    Enter a: 3.3                                                                                                                    Enter b: 5.6                                                                                                                  3.3

professionals can use many types of technology that can them. some examples are, computers (they research and can use for programs for data, they are also used for job applications, school work, and even to make new ideas), speedometers (can get data for unknown data), sometimes something as small as a pen (used for rough drafts, to insert data, and again job applications).
