This is the code that should go to the server side for calculating star ratings: Star Ratings I’ve been awfully busy programming lately. My Django-based side project is coming along well and I hope to have it ready for use in a few weeks. Please don’t ask more about it, that’s really all I can say for now. Anyways, I came across an interesting little math problem today and was hoping some skilled programmers out there could come up with a more elegant solution than mine. Problem: Star Ratings People can rate cheeseburgers on my website with a star rating of 0-5 stars (whole stars only), 5 being mighty tasty and 0 being disgusting. I would like to show the average of everyone’s ratings of a particular cheeseburger to the nearest half star. I have already calculated the average rating as a float (star_sum) and the total number of people that rated the particular cheeseburger (num_raters). The result should be stored as a float in a variable named “stars.” My Solution (in Python): # round to one decimal place and # separate into whole and fractional parts parts = str(round(star_sum/num_raters, 1)).split('.') whole = int(parts[0]) frac = int(parts[1]) if frac < 3: ___frac = 0 elif frac > 7: ___frac = 0 ___whole += 1 else: ___frac = 5 # recombine for a star rating rounded to the half stars = float(str(whole)+’.'+str(frac)) Mmmm… In-N-Out Burgers… Please leave a comment if you’ve got a better solution.
