Assertions on doubles with variable precision
/*
Assertions on doubles are tricky in C, because of the way precision is handled. The default precision
used in things like displaying and comparing is 6 decimal places, even though the internal precision value
is much higher. This makes things like assertions difficult, if you want to assert on any value other
than the default 6 decimal places. Here's a way to do it by converting both values to strings before
the assertion.

"Feels Like" (temperature) Calculation in Python
# I use a Python script to pull current weather conditions from the NOAA web service API. The NOAA web
# service does not return a windchill value for all locations, but given temperature, relative humidity,
# and wind speed you can calculate a “feels like” temperature as follows.
# This code assumes units of Fahrenheit, MPH, and Relative Humidity by percentage. In this example, a
# temperature of 35F, wind speed of 10mph, and relative humidity of 72% yields a "feels like" value of 27.4F
import math
vTemperature = float(35)
