01 Checkpoint - Review Python

The document provides instructions for writing a Python program that takes a user's age as input, calculates their maximum heart rate and target heart rate range based on their age, and displays the results. It includes sample input/output tests and references documentation to help with getting input from the user, converting the input to a number, doing calculations, and displaying output. Students are asked to write a heart_rate.py program following these guidelines and specifications.

01 Checkpoint: Review Python

Purpose
Write a Python program that gets input from a user, uses variables, performs
arithmetic, and displays results for the user to see.

Problem Statement
When you physically exercise to strengthen your heart, you should maintain
your heart rate within a range for at least 20 minutes. To find that range,
subtract your age from 220. This difference is your maximum heart rate per
minute. Your heart simply will not beat faster than this maximum (220 − age).
When exercising to strengthen your heart, you should keep your heart rate
between 65% and 85% of your heart’s maximum rate.

Assignment
Write a Python program named heart_rate.py that asks for a person’s age and
computes and outputs the slowest and fastest rates necessary to strengthen his
heart. To start your program, copy and paste the following code into your
program and use it as an outline as you write code. Note that in a Python
program, a triple quoted string at the top of the file acts as a comment for the
entire program.

"""
When you physically exercise to strengthen your heart, you
should maintain your heart rate within a range for at least 20
minutes. To find that range, subtract your age from 220. This
difference is your maximum heart rate per minute. Your heart
simply will not beat faster than this maximum (220 - age).
When exercising to strengthen your heart, you should keep your
heart rate between 65% and 85% of your heart’s maximum rate.

Calculate results
Display results for the user to see

Testing Procedure
Verify that your program works correctly by following each step in this testing
procedure:

1. Run your program and enter the input shown below. Ensure that your
program’s output matches the output below.
> python heart_rate.py
Please enter your age: 23
When you exercise to strengthen your heart, you should
keep your heart rate between 128 and 167 beats per minute.

2. Run your program using your age or the age of one of your parents. Use a
calculator to ensure that the output is correct.

Sample Solution
When your program is finished, view the sample solution [↓] for this assignment
to compare your solution to that one. Before looking at the sample solution, you
should work to complete this checkpoint program. However, if you have worked
on it for at least an hour and are still having problems, feel free to use the
sample solution to help you finish your program.

Ponder
During this assignment, you wrote a Python program that gets input from a
user, uses variables, performs arithmetic, and displays results for the user to
see. Because you should have learned how to write this type of program in
CSE 110, this assignment should have been fairly easy for you. If this assignment
was difficult for you, you should review the concepts from CSE 110 and the
programs that you wrote in that course.

Submission
When complete, report your progress in the associated I‑Learn quiz.
