Create a function named in_range() that has three parameters named num, lower, and upper.

The function should return True if num is greater than or equal to lower and less than or equal to upper. Otherwise, return False.
'''
# Write your in_range function here:
def in_range(num, lower, upper):
    for i in range(lower,upper + 1):
      if num == i:
        result = True
        break
      else:
        result = False
    return(result)
# Uncomment these function calls to test your in_range function:
print(in_range(10, 10, 10))
# should print True
print(in_range(5, 10, 20))
# should print False

''' 
example solution:
def in_range(num, lower, upper):
  if(num >= lower and num <= upper):
    return True
  return False

'''
We need to write a program that checks different names and determines if they are equal. We need to accept two strings and compare them. Here are the steps:

    Define the function to accept two strings, your_name and my_name
    Test if the two strings are equal
    Return True if they are equal, otherwise return False
'''
# Write your same_name function here:
def same_name(your_name, my_name):
  if your_name == my_name:
    return(True)
  else:
    return(False)
# Uncomment these function calls to test your same_name function:
print(same_name("Colby", "Colby"))
# should print True
print(same_name("Tina", "Amber"))
# should print False




'''
Create a function named always_false() that has one parameter named num.

Using an if statement, your variable num, and the operators >, and <, make it so your function will return False no matter what number is stored in num.

An if statement that is always false is called a contradiction. You will rarely want to do this while programming, but it is important to realize it is possible to do this.
'''
# Write your always_false function here:
def always_false(num):
  if num > 5 and num < 4:
    return(True)
  else:
    return(False)
# Uncomment these function calls to test your always_false function:
print(always_false(0))
# should print False
print(always_false(-1))
# should print False
print(always_false(1))
# should print False



'''
Create a function named movie_review() that has one parameter named rating.

If rating is less than or equal to 5, return "Avoid at all costs!". If rating is between 5 and 9, return "This one was fun.". If rating is 9 or above, return "Outstanding!"
'''

# Write your movie_review function here:
def movie_review(rating):
  if rating > 0 and rating <= 5:
    return("Avoid at all costs!")
  elif rating > 5 and rating < 9:
    return("This one was fun.")
  elif rating >= 9 and rating <= 10:
    return("Outstanding!")
  else:
    return("Does not compute")
# Uncomment these function calls to test your movie_review function:
print(movie_review(9))
# should print "Outstanding!"
print(movie_review(4))
# should print "Avoid at all costs!"
print(movie_review(6))
# should print "This one was fun."



'''
Create a function called max_num() that has three parameters named num1, num2, and num3.

The function should return the largest of these three numbers. If any of two numbers tie as the largest, you should return "It's a tie!".
'''

def max_num(num1, num2, num3):
  if num1 > num2 and num1 > num3:
    return(num1)
  elif num2 > num1 and num2 > num3:
    return(num2)
  elif num3 > num1 and num3 > num2:
    return(num3)
  # below could be shortened to else return tie
  elif num1 == num2 or num1 == num3 or num2 == num3:
    return("It's a tie!")
  else:
    return("Huh...")
