Answer to Question #277212 in HTML/JavaScript Web Application for Sneha

Question

Population limit: 28875

Note: Population limit will change at random intervals. So please make sure answer is computed for the correct population

Answer 1

Find latitude and longitude of first 20 countries with a population greater than or equal to the population limit given.

import ​​json
from ​​math import pi, sin, cos, sqrt, asin



def find_dist(latlng_1, latlng_2):
	'''
	This function calculate distanse in km between two point on Earth
	whose coordinates are passed as two lists and returns rounded distanse
	'''
	lat1, lon1 = latlng_1[0]*pi/180, latlng_1[1]*pi/180
	lat2, lon2 = latlng_2[0]*pi/180, latlng_2[1]*pi/180
	d = 2*6371*asin(sqrt(sin((lat2-lat1)/2)**2 + cos(lat1)*cos(lat2)*sin((lon2-lon1)/2)**2))
	return round(d,2)



file = "countriesV2.json"


limit = 11750


with ​​open(file, 'r') as f:
	contries = json.load(f)
first_20 = {}
for ​​contry in contries:
	if contry['population'] >= limit:
		first_20[contry['alpha3Code']] = contry['latlng']
		if len(first_20) == 20:
			break


total_dist = 0
keys = list(first_20.keys())
for ​​i in range(len(keys)-1):
	for j in range(len(keys[i+1:])):
		total_dist += find_dist(first_20[keys[i]], first_20[keys[j]])
total_dist = round(total_dist, 2)


print(total_)
