Recap: Telemetry Toolkit

Combine scope, default parameters, multiple return values, and try/except

Mission: Telemetry Toolkit

Build a small toolkit. Each function should work only with its parameters and return its result (good scope discipline).

1. safe_int(text, fallback=0): uses try/except to turn text into an int. If int() fails, return fallback. The fallback parameter has a default of 0.
2. summarize(numbers): returns three values: the total, the largest, and the smallest of a list of numbers.

In the main program, you have a list of readings (some are corrupted). Then:

• go through readings and use safe_int on each to build a list called numbers (corrupted readings become 0)
• print Numbers: then that list
• call summarize(numbers), unpack the three values, and print Total:, Largest:, and Smallest:

Output

Numbers: [10, 0, 25, 7, 0]
Total: 42
Largest: 25
Smallest: 0
