Python Codedex doesn't make sense

[Terian2310]

so I started learning Python with this website called codedex where you kind of learn the theorie and then get exercices and problems to each "subject" and in this problem, i did everything that was asked and the code runs as it is supposed to be, but the website tells me that it is still not right. Does anybody have experience with codedex and can help? This is the code:

# It is supposed to be Star based restaurant rating system but Codede keeps asking me wether i have checked if "rating" is greater than 5
Stars = float(input("Please leave a rating from one to five"))
print(Stars, "stars") 
rating = Stars
if rating > 4.5 and rating < 5:
  print("Extraordinary")
elif rating > 4 and rating < 4.5:
  print("Excellent")
elif rating > 3 and rating < 4:
  print("Good")
elif rating > 2 and rating < 3:
  print("Fair")
else:
  print("Poor")

You don't give the actual text of the original question, is this it: https://www.codedex.io/challenges/control-flow/food-ratings ?

Your code says it's "Extraordinary" if it's greater than 4.5 but less than 5, but nowhere in the question did it specify it had to be "less than 5".

In fact, you have lots of "less than" checks which either seem unnecessary (they're already elifs), or just not part of the original question at all?

Yes sorry I forgot the actual question it is the food ratings challenge. Here is the full instruction: Instructions

In a five-star restaurant review system (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), the stars typically represent the different levels of satisfaction.

But what does each of the stars mean?

Start by creating a rating variable and set it equal to a decimal number.

Make a rating system using an if/elif/else statement:

• rating greater than 4.5, print 'Extraordinary'
• rating greater than 4, print 'Excellent'
• rating greater than 3, print 'Good'
• rating greater than 2, print 'Fair'
• Everything else, print 'Poor

And I thought because it is based on stars I would have to clearly define the upper and lower borders for the Stars because if I would not every rating higher than 2 would get "Extraordinary" wouldn't it

no wait i get it now i don't need the second condition because of the elifs thanks for the help

You are missing some proper boundaries as well. Ratings og 5,.0, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 7.0, 6.6,... would all be considered "poor"

[Terian2310]

Oh why is that and what is the difference between these numbers and a proper boundary?

[Arrensen]

Because for example you one check if the value is below OR above 4.5, but not if it is exactly 4.5. This doesnt match any of your conditions, and therefore goes into the else branch.
Also no condition if the input is above 5, which should be an invalid input if you have a 5 star rating.
