#To find the focal length of the reading glasses
d1=25.0       #units in cm
d2=-75        #units in cm
f=(d1*d2)/(d2+d1)     #Units in cm
print "The focal length of the reading glasses is f=",round(f,2)," cm"

The focal length of the reading glasses is f= 37.5  cm

  #To find the focal length of the corrective lens
d1=-50.0           #units in cm
f=-(d1)         #Units in cm
print "The focal length of the corrective lens is f=",round(f)," cm"

The focal length of the corrective lens is f= 50.0  cm

p=1/(p1+p2+p3)          #Units in diopters
print "The combined focal length is=",round(p,1)," cm"

The combined focal length is= 0.3  cm
