Question

(Population projection) The US Census Bureau projects population based on the

following assumptions:

One birth every 7 seconds

One death every 13 seconds

One new immigrant every 45 seconds

Write a program to display the population for each of the next five years. Assume the

current population is 312032486 and one year has 365 days. Hint: in Python, you

can use integer division operator // to perform division. The result is an integer. For

example, 5 // 4 is 1 (not 1.25) and 10 // 4 is 2 (not 2.5).

Here's what I have but I kept getting wrong numbers... what am I doing wrong?

# Total Population: 312032486

# Total Seconds/Year: 365* 24 * 60 * 60 = 31536000

# Births/Year: 31536000/7 = 4505142.857142857

# Deaths/Year: 31536000/13 = 2425846.153846154

# Immigrations/Year: 31536000/45 = 700800.0

print((312032486) + (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154) // 1 )

print((312032486) + (2 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )

print((312032486) + (3 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )

print((312032486) + (4 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )

print((312032486) + (5 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )

Explanation / Answer

print int((312032486) + (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154) // 1 )

print int((312032486) + (2 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )

print int((312032486) + (3 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )

print int((312032486) + (4 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )

print int((312032486) + (5 * (4505142.857142857 + 700800 - 2425846.153846154)) // 1 )
