Prerequisite Exam: How to ignore (inf)inite values

Hi @laura.firth,

Welcome to our community.

In order to ignore the inf values, you can just check whether the value you are checking is inf or not.

In this link you will find an example on how to achieve that:

How to exclude "inf(inite)" values when checking laser values?

Hi @dave.m.mckay, A good way of ignoring laser values with infinite is checking whether the laser value is inf. In your code below: distance = float(laser) if biggest < distance: biggest = distance this could be achieved with (note and distance != inf): inf = float('inf') … distance = float(laser) if biggest < distance and distance != inf: biggest = distance This should solve the problem.
