Question 66

A telemetry program processes a sensor reading and outputs a status message:

reading = float(input("Enter telemetry reading: "))
if reading > 100.0:
    print("Warning: Threshold exceeded")
else:
    print("Normal")

The program needs to be modified so that it repeats this process exactly six times using definite (count-controlled) iteration.

Select the option that correctly implements this requirement.

A
count = 0
while count < 6:
    reading = float(input("Enter telemetry reading: "))
    if reading > 100.0:
        print("Warning: Threshold exceeded")
    else:
        print("Normal")
    count += 1
B
for i in range(1, 6):
    reading = float(input("Enter telemetry reading: "))
    if reading > 100.0:
        print("Warning: Threshold exceeded")
    else:
        print("Normal")
C
for i in range(0, 6):
    reading = float(input("Enter telemetry reading: "))
    if reading > 100.0:
        print("Warning: Threshold exceeded")
    else:
        print("Normal")
D
for i in range(0, 7):
    reading = float(input("Enter telemetry reading: "))
    if reading > 100.0:
        print("Warning: Threshold exceeded")
    else:
        print("Normal")
