Conditioning on body temperature
Let's say you were tasked with programming a diagnostic tool that assesses a patient's body temperature. You want to print warnings if the temperature is too high or too low and a reassuring message if it is just right. In this exercise, you'll write a conditional expression to aid the diagnosis.
The float body_temp
, which is the body temperature in degrees Celsius, is available in your environment.
