Answer to Question #263490 in Python for estrella

Question

lat = [40.59, 40.52, 40.621, 40.519, 40.56, 41.265, 40.61, 40.806, 41.259, 41.265, 41.264, 41.264, 41.259, 41.262, 41.263]
lon = [69.532, 69.419, 69.354, 69.263, 69.478, 70.805, 69.706, 70.331, 70.815, 70.823, 70.815, 70.81, 70.824, 70.811, 70.811]

The lat list indicates how far north and south Gracie the seal has traveled, and the long list represents how far east and west she has traveled. The larger the latitude value, the further north the seal was located, and for this area of the world, the larger the longitude value, the further west the seal is located.

Write a program to calculate the farthest in each direction that Gracie was located throughout her travels. Add four print statements to the lines of code above that output the following, where the number signs are replaced with the correct values from the correct list:

Farthest north = #
Farthest west = #
Farthest south = #
Farthest east = #

Answer 1

lat = [40.59, 40.52, 40.621, 40.519, 40.56, 41.265, 40.61, 40.806,
       41.259, 41.265, 41.264, 41.264, 41.259, 41.262, 41.263]
long = [69.532, 69.419, 69.354, 69.263, 69.478, 70.805, 69.706, 70.331,
        70.815, 70.823, 70.815, 70.81, 70.824, 70.811, 70.811]
print(f'Farthest north = {max(lat)}')
print(f'Farthest west  = {max(long)}')
print(f'Farthest south = {min(lat)}')
print(f'Farthest east = {min(long)}')
