F1 Score From Precision and Recall Directly
Vendors keep pitching Larkspur Mail ready-made spam filters, and their one-page summaries are thinner than the team would like. A summary gives two figures for the spam class and nothing else: a precision and a recall. No confusion matrix, no test set size, no raw counts - vendors consider those commercially sensitive.
Larkspur's internal scorecard is F1, so procurement needs every vendor scored on the same scale as the filters built in-house, using only what each vendor was willing to hand over.
Task: Print the vendor filter's F1 score, as a single number rounded to 4 decimals. Round once, at the end.
Input
The first line holds the vendor's precision for the spam class, a decimal between 0 and 1. The second line holds the recall, in the same form. They are never both zero.
Output
One line holding the F1 score, rounded to 4 decimals and printed the way Python prints a float - 0.6667, and 0.5 rather than 0.5000.
Example:
Input:
0.75
0.6
Output:
0.6667
