python 3.x - Reducing the amount of return statements -


the following code returns bmi risk of person - either low, medium or high. works fine. however, wondering if there way solve without using many return statements.

is there other way, either, pythonic or logically make shorter?

def bmi_risk(bmi, age):     ''' function returning bmi's risk on human '''     if bmi < 22 , age < 45:         return "low"     if bmi < 22 , age >= 45:         return "medium"     if bmi >= 22 , age < 45:         return "medium"     if bmi >= 22 , age >= 45:         return "high"

perhaps best, or @ least clearest, way through use of multiple if/elif/else blocks variable holding risk:

def bmi_risk(bmi, age):     ''' function returning bmi's risk on human '''     if bmi < 22 , age < 45:         risk = "low"     elif bmi < 22 , age >= 45:         risk = "medium"     elif bmi >= 22 , age < 45:         risk = "medium"     elif bmi >= 22 , age >= 45:         risk = "high"     else:         risk = "unknown"     return risk

at least, allows checks on risk after assigning before returning.

there subjective discussion had single or multiple returns in programming languages - ones python have automatic garbage collection.

there isn't terrible wrong code, , multiple returns allow return when needed. example:

def my_function(argument1, argument2):     if some_obvious_error_condition:         return "err"      # 100 lines of complex code      return other_thing

utf 8 - split utf-8 string into bytes in python -

i trying split utf-8 string bytes in python 3. problem is, when use bytearray, byte, encode etc functions array size of element 14 bytes, not 1 byte expected. need split text file sequence of bytes , send them byte after byte using sockets. tried this: infile = open (file, "r") str = infile.read() byte_str = bytes(str, 'utf-8') print("size of byte_str",sys.getsizeof(byte_str[0])) print gives me 14, need 1... suggestion? quoting official documentation : sys.getsizeof(object[, default]) return size of object in bytes. object can type of object. built-in objects return correct results, not have hold true third-party extensions implementation specific. only memory consumption directly attributed object accounted for, not memory consumption of objects refers to. if given, default returned if object not provide means retrieve size. otherwise typeerror raised. getsizeof() calls object’s __sizeof__ method , adds ...
