Question

5. 20 LAB: Step counter A pedometer treats walking 2,000 steps as walking 1 mile. Write a program whose input is the number of steps, and whose output is the miles walked. Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows: print('{:. 2f}'. Format(your_value)) Ex: If the input is: 5345 the output is: 2. 67 Your program must define and call the following function. The function should return the amount of miles walked. Def steps_to_miles(user_steps)

Answer 1

def steps_to_miles(user_steps):

miles = user_steps / 2000.0

return miles

if __name__ == '__main__':

user_steps = int(input())

miles = steps_to_miles(user_steps)

print('{:.2f}'.format(miles))

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps_to_miles function takes an integer user_steps as input and returns the equivalent number of miles as a float. The computation is straightforward: we divide the number of steps by 2000 to get the number of miles.

In the main program, we first read the user input as an integer using the input() function. We then call the steps_to_miles function with the user input as an argument, and store the result in the miles variable.

Finally, we print the value of miles with two decimal places using the print() function and the '{:.2f}' format specifier. This ensures that the output is in the correct format, with two digits after the decimal point.
