How to use min() Function for floats

Question

I am trying to find out the minimum value within a user define function.The values that are within the loop are float.But somehow I was unable to use min function for my conditional statement.My code is given below:

def life_age(x):
    for i in range(1,16):
        if 0<min(x[f'age_{i}'])<18:
            return 1

Answer 1

It looks like x here is expected to look something like this:

x = {'age_1': 12.0, 'age_2':43.4, ..., 'age_16':90}

And you want to find out if the minimum age value is between 0 and 18.

The problem you are having is that min() is expecting an iterable of values like a list, but you are only passing it a single value.

So, you want to pass min() the entire list that you want it to find the minimum of:

def life_age(x):
   ages = [x[f'age_{i}'] for i in range(1,16)]
   if 0 < min(ages) < 18:
      return True
   else:
      return False
