Question 11

An atmospheric scientist is writing a Python program to compare the altitudes (in km) of two weather balloons, entered as decimal values by the user, and output which balloon is higher, or notify if they are at the same altitude.

Complete the program below by filling in the five gaps using the options provided in Figure 1. You will not need to use all the options. Each option should only be used once.

altA = float(input("Enter first altitude (km): "))
altB = _____ (input("Enter second altitude (km): "))
if altA > altB:
    print("Balloon A is higher: ", _____)
elif altA _____ altB:
    print("Balloon B is higher: ", _____)
_____
    print("The balloons are at the same altitude.")
