Questions: Why error for heaviestweight not defined

The error for heaviest_weight not being defined is likely due to a combination of syntax errors, indentation issues, and typographical errors in the provided code. Let's go through the code step-by-step to identify and correct these issues.

# Initialize statistics
def main():
    num_jumbo = 0
    num_xl = 0
    num_large = 0
    num_medium = 0
    num_small = 0
    sum_weights = 0
    heaviest_weight = float('-inf')
    lightest_weight = float('inf')

    # Input
    num_eggs = int(input("How many eggs to process: "))
    for _ in range(num_eggs):
        weight = float(input("Enter egg weight: "))
        if weight > heaviest_weight:
            heaviest_weight = weight
        if weight < lightest_weight:
            lightest_weight = weight
        sum_weights += weight

        # Categorize and Statistics
        if weight >= 2.5:
            num_jumbo += 1
        elif weight >= 2.25:
            num_xl += 1
        elif weight >= 2:
            num_large += 1
        elif weight >= 1.75:
            num_medium += 1
        elif weight >= 1.5:
            num_small += 1

    average_weight = sum_weights / num_eggs

    # Output
    print()
    print(f"Average egg weight: {average_weight:.2f}")
    print(f"Heaviest egg weight: {heaviest_weight:.2f}")
    print(f"Lightest egg weight: {lightest_weight:.2f}")
    print(f"Number of jumbo eggs: {num_jumbo}")
    print(f"Number of extra large eggs: {num_xl}")
    print(f"Number of large eggs: {num_large}")
    print(f"Number of medium eggs: {num_medium}")
    print(f"Number of small eggs: {num_small}")

main()

1. Syntax Errors:

   • num_large =} should be num_large = 0.
   • for _ in range (num eggs): should be for _ in range(num_eggs):.
   • if weight $>$ heaviest_weight: should be if weight > heaviest_weight:.
   • heaviest weight $=$ weight should be heaviest_weight = weight.
   • if weight < lightest weight: should be if weight < lightest_weight:.
   • lightest weight $=$ weight should be lightest_weight = weight.
   • sum_weights $+=$ weight should be sum_weights += weight.
   • if weight $>+2 \\cdot 5$ : should be if weight >= 2.5:.
   • num_jumbo $+=1$ should be num_jumbo += 1.
   • elif weight $>=2.25$ : should be elif weight >= 2.25:.
   • elif weīght $>=2$ : should be elif weight >= 2:.
   • elif weīght $>=1.75$ : should be elif weight >= 1.75:.
   • elif weight $>=1.5$ : should be elif weight >= 1.5:.
   • print (f"Heaviest egg weight: (heaviest_weight:. 2f\\}") should be print(f"Heaviest egg weight: {heaviest_weight:.2f}").
   • print (f"Lighest egg weight: (lighest_weight:.2f)") should be print(f"Lightest egg weight: {lightest_weight:.2f}").
   • print (f"Number of jumbo eggs: (num_jumbo)") should be print(f"Number of jumbo eggs: {num_jumbo}").
   • print (f"Number of extra large eggs: (num xl)") should be print(f"Number of extra large eggs: {num_xl}").
   • print (f"Number of large eggs: \\{num_large\\}") should be print(f"Number of large eggs: {num_large}").
   • print (f"Number of medium eggs: (num medium\\}") should be print(f"Number of medium eggs: {num_medium}").
   • print (f"Number of small eggs: (num small\\}") should be print(f"Number of small eggs: {num_small}").

2. Indentation:

   • Ensure all code within the for loop is properly indented.

3. Typographical Errors:

   • Corrected all instances of weīght to weight.
   • Corrected lighest_weight to lightest_weight.

By addressing these issues, the code should now run without errors and correctly process the input to provide the desired statistics.
