Hello. I am working on a python program that is about a car racing game. I was wondering if anyone could help me condense this for loop down so it is not so long and repetitive. Also, with all the if statements, I have to calculate the car engine failure at a certain speed. It gives me a negative one for the value instead of the speed (which is good), however, it goes away with the next loop. I need it to stay in the car speed list all throguhout the for loop. The bolded part is the part I would like to be shorter. If anyone could help or has any ideas it will be much appreciated.

def main():

import random laps = eval(input("Numbers of laps to be covered in the race (>1):")) distance = eval(input("Distance for each lap (>=10 km):")) min_speed = eval(input("The minimum speed for each car (>40km/hr):")) max_speed = eval(input("The maximum speed for each car (>min_speed):")) cars = 10 car_speed_list = [] standings = [] lap_time_list = [] time_list = [] total1 = 0 total2 = 0 total3 = 0 total4 = 0 total5 = 0 total6 = 0 total7 = 0 total8 = 0 total9 = 0 total10 = 0 lap_var = 0 if min_speed>max_speed: print("Error! The maximum speed", max_speed, "smaller than the mimimum speed", min_speed) exit() print(" ")

mid_speed = (max_speed+min_speed)/2 allowed_speed = max_speed-min_speed minimum_failed_speed = mid_speed-(allowed_speed * 0.025) maximum_failed_speed = mid_speed+(allowed_speed * 0.025) print("You have set the speed range:", [min_speed, max_speed]) faliure = print("Engine faliure speed range defined", [minimum_failed_speed, maximum_failed_speed])
