num_rainy_months.py

# rainfall_mi is a string that contains the average number of inches of rainfall in Michigan for every month (in inches) with every month separated by a comma.
# Write code to compute the number of months that have more than 3 inches of rainfall.
# Store the result in the variable num_rainy_months. In other words, count the number of items with values > 3.0.
# Hard-coded answers will receive no credit.

rainfall_mi = "1.65, 1.46, 2.05, 3.03, 3.35, 3.46, 2.83, 3.23, 3.5, 2.52, 2.8, 1.85"

num_rainy_months = 0

Using list comprehension or creating generator (depending on the size of the iterable) to convert string elements into the float, and then using accumulator pattern to count the number of months that have more than 3 inches of rainfall.

rainfall_mi = "1.65, 1.46, 2.05, 3.03, 3.35, 3.46, 2.83, 3.23, 3.5, 2.52, 2.8, 1.85"

values_str =  rainfall_mi.split(',')

values_float = [float(value) for value in values_str] # values_float = (float(value) for value in values_str) # creating a generator


num_rainy_months = 0

for value in values_float:
     if value > 3.0:
          num_rainy_months += 1

print('num_rainy_months', num_rainy_months)

But probably the shortest solution to the problem is

rainfall_mi = "1.65, 1.46, 2.05, 3.03, 3.35, 3.46, 2.83, 3.23, 3.5, 2.52, 2.8, 1.85"

num_rainy_months = sum(1 for x in rainfall_mi.split(",") if float(x) > 3.0)

print('num_rainy_months', num_rainy_months)

rainfall_mi = "1.65, 1.46, 2.05, 3.03, 3.35, 3.46, 2.83, 3.23, 3.5, 2.52, 2.8, 1.85"
rainfall_mi_split = rainfall_mi.split(",")
num_rainy_months = 0

for i in rainfall_mi_split:
if float(i) > 3.0:
num_rainy_months += 1
print(num_rainy_months)

rainfall_mi = "1.65, 1.46, 2.05, 3.03, 3.35, 3.46, 2.83, 3.23, 3.5, 2.52, 2.8, 1.85"
rainfall= rainfall_mi.split(",")

num_rainy_months=0

for i in rainfall:
i = float(i)
if i > 3.0:
num_rainy_months += 1
print(num_rainy_months)

sentence = "students flock to the arb for a variety of outdoor activities such as jogging and picnicking"

code:

same_letter_count = 0
