Question 88

An agricultural engineer is writing a Python program to validate that the soil moisture sensor reading of an automated irrigation system is between 40% and 85% inclusive.

Figure 1 shows the corrected version of the code.

1  moisture = float(input("Enter moisture level (%): "))
2  while moisture < 40 or moisture > 85:
3      print("Moisture level out of range")
4      moisture = float(input("Enter moisture level (%): "))
5  print("Moisture level is within optimal range")

In an earlier draft of the program, line 2 contained one syntax error and one logic error:

whlie moisture < 40 or moisture >= 85:

Complete the table to describe the syntax error and the logic error in this earlier draft of line 2.
