Is there a shorter way to write this?



discounted_price = original_ticket_price - discount_value

if discounted_price < 0:

    discounted_price = 0

    Why would you want a shorter way to write it if you don't mind? Are you golfing or something?

Use the built-in max() function:



discounted_price = max(0, original_ticket_price - discount_value)

    Python has a syntax for ternary since 2.5.



    Syntax for it is a if condition else b, where condition is Truthy or Falsy( see Graipher comment).



    You can rewrite your code like:



    discounted_price = original_ticket_price - discount_value
    
discounted_price if discounted_price >= 0 else 0


    Personnaly I find it harder to read but it is another way to write your code.



    EDIT you can find more info on ternary in this SO post

      condition does not have to be a boolean (True or False), a truthy or falsy value is sufficient ([0] and also work), as almost always in Python.

The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format. The hardware we are using is a POS unit from HP that has a built-in 16:9 touch-screen. The employees using this solution is not supposed to see nor have access to anything but the POS application.

            QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

            Image
            1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
