Question

#This one is a challenge. There's a lot going on: splitting #up strings, removing unnecessary characters, converting to #integers, and running a big conditional. Our solution to #this is 34 lines -- you can do it! #In web development, it is common to represent a color like #this : # rgb(red val, green val, blue val) #where red val, green val and blue val would be substituted #with values from 0-255 telling the computer how much to #light up that portion of the pixel. For example: #-rgb(255, 0, 0) would make a color red. #-rgb(255, 255, 0) would make yellow, because it is equal parts red and green. #-rgb(0, 0, 0) would make black, the absence of all color. #-rgb(255, 255, 255) would make white, the presence of all colors equally #Don't let the function-like syntax here confuse you: here , #these are just strings. The string "rgb(0, 255, 0)" #represents the color green. #write a function called "find color " that accepts a single #argument expected to be a string as just described. Your #function should return a simplified version of the color #that is represented according to the following rules: # If there is more red than any other color, return "red". # If there is more green than any other color, return "green". # If there is more blue than any other color, return "blue ". # If there are equal parts red and green, return "yellow". # If there are equal parts red and blue , return "purple" # If there are equal parts green and blue, return "teal". # If there are equal parts red, green, and blue, return "gray". # (even though this might be white or black). #write your function here! #Below are some lines of code that will test your function. #You can change the value of the variable(s) to test your #function with different inputs. #If your function works correctly, this will originally #print: red, purple, gray, each on their own line. print(find color("rgb (125, 50, 75)") print(find color ("rgb (125, 17, 125) ")) print(find color( "rgb (217, 217, 217)"))

Explanation / Answer

def find_color(color): color = str(color).replace('rgb(', '').replace(')', '') r, g, b = int(color.split(', ')[0]), int(color.split(', ')[1]), int(color.split(', ')[2]) if r == g == b: return "gray" elif r > g and r > b: return "red" elif b > g and b > r: return "blue" elif g > r and g > b: return "green" elif r == g: return "yellow" elif g == b: return "teal" elif r == b: return "purple"
