I have an input and then a loop that outputs 5 numbers I want to use in another function but I don't have any clue how to do this as I am a beginner.
mass_of_rider_kg = float(input('input mass of rider in kilograms:'))
a = mass_of_rider_kg
while a < mass_of_rider_kg+16:
a = a + 4
print(a)
This gives me the numbers I want but I am unsure how to put each of them into another equation to get 5 results.
def otherfunction(a):
...
...
mass_of_rider_kg = float(input('input mass of rider in kilograms:'))
a = mass_of_rider_kg
while a < mass_of_rider_kg+16:
a = a + 4
otherfunction(a)
If you want to use numbers, you have to store them somewhere. If you just print them out, they go to the screen and are immediately forgotten.
You've already got each value stored in a. If all you want to do is use each value, separately, in another equation, just use a:
while a < mass_of_rider_kg+16:
a = a + 4
print(a)
eggs = a * 20
print(eggs)
But if you want to use all of the a values, how do you do that? Each time through the loop, you lose the previous a when you get the new one.
To store all of them, you put them in a list, and then you can use the list after the loop is done. For example:
masses = []
while a < mass_of_rider_kg+16:
a = a + 4
print(a)
masses.append(a)
total = sum(masses)
print(total)
