Suppose I have a list containing 9 fields, and the 9th field is a string.
Then print(line) will print the entire line, print(line[9]) will return something like:
1/0:.:PASS:90:204,90:201,88:48,39:-204,0,-90:-48,0,-39:14:9,5:5
but print(line[9[0:1]])
will return
File "FileParser.py", line 9, in ?
print(line[9[0:1]])
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
If I assign line[9] to a second var, then I can manipulate it like a string, but this seems like a silly extra step.
Is there a way to index directly into the string while still part of the list?
Thank you
You can index it like this
line[9][0:1]
line[9] will get the actual string and you get the range of characters from that string.
When you do line[9[0:1]] you are trying to get the range of values from the number 9, which is not possible. That is why your code fails.
Since line[9] is a string, then you have to do
line[9][0:1]
Let's say line[9] = "some string". Then you can manipulate it with
line[9][0:1]
which will be equivalent to
"some string"[0:1]

Following is the code:
def my_funct(**kwarg):
print(kwarg[fn]*kwarg[sn])
print('enter 2 numbers to get product of')
a=input()
print('enter second number')
b=input()
my_funct(fn=a,sn=b)
The output is error saying 'fn is not defined'. What is the solution?
Kwargs is a dictionary where the variable name is the key and has type str. You are trying to find the value to the key which is saved in the variable fn but this variable hasn't been defined. Instead what you want is the value corresponding to the key 'fn', so you do
print(kwarg['fn'] * kwarg['sn'])
Edit: Because your corresponding values come from the input() function, you should make sure they are actually numbers and not strings. So when you do a=input() you should change that to a=float(input()). Same for b.

I have a list of strings:
mini_corpus = ['I am Sam','Sam I am','I am Sam','I do not like green eggs and Sam']
I need to add a sentence boundary at the beginning and end of each element (i.e. 'BOS I am Sam EOS', 'BOS Sam I am EOS', etc.)
I've tried using map : mini_corpv2 = list(map(lambda x: 'BOS{}EOS'.format(x), mini_corpus)) but it throws 'list' object is not callable
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or suggest another method to implement this?
I suppose the problem is somewhere else. Your code runs without problems, resulting in
['BOSI am SamEOS',
'BOSSam I amEOS',
'BOSI am SamEOS',
'BOSI do not like green eggs and SamEOS']
(so you will probably want to add spaces after BOS and before EOS).
An alternative solution using list comprehension:
mini_corpv2 = [f'BOS {x} EOS' for x in mini_corpus]

i suspect that this is a simple answer, but i cannot figure out the answer. (I did give it due diligence)
i wrote a simple python program to identify prime numbers. the program is function, but i'm receiving strange results in the output. when i have it write a number with multiple digits, each number is comma separated; for example, 13 is added to the document as 1,3. I would like to have a comma after each full number (13,) and don't want commas within the number (1,3 or 1,301). eventually, i want to have each number on its own row (one of the issue that i ran into in my g1 program is that the row became too long around 50mill ;-)
Any thoughts?
#!/bin/python3
import time
import os
import csv
folderLocation = "c:/notNow/"
primeName = "primeNumbers.csv"
# notPrimeName = "noPrimeNumbers.csv"
primePath=folderLocation + primeName
# notPrimePath=folderLocation + notPrimeName
no=13
os.makedirs(folderLocation)
f = open(primePath, "w")
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerow(str(no))
output: 1,3
writerow expects a sequence of items (e.g list). A string is just seen as a sequence of individual characters, try this instead:
writer.writerow([no])

I am very new to Python and trying to learn by trial-and-error, so my question may sound naive for the community.
Let's say I have two empty lists with only the first element defined:
a = [[]]*20
a[0] = 0
b = [[]]*20
b[0] = 1
I want to use a for loop for creating the other elements of the lists:
x = 20
for i in range(1,x):
a[i] = b[i-1],
b[i] = a[i-1]+b[i-1]
What I obtain is the following error:TypeError: can only concatenate tuple (not "int") to tuple.
Basically I am trying to reproduce the fibonacci series (a famous starting point in Python tutorial), but I would like to experiment other ways of obtaining the same output.
Thank you!
The problem is on this line:
a[i] = b[i-1],
Notice the comma at the end? That makes python think you're dealing in tuples. Remove it and the error will be gone.

Hi I would like to store strings on a array. This strings are produced in this loop:
while (count < ts ):
dt=tb
t1=count+180
t2=t1+360
dt1=dt+t1
dt2=dt+t2
slice=stream.slice(dt1, dt2)
B=str(dt1)
E=str(dt2)
slice.write(station+'_'+comp[i]+'_'+B+'_'+E, format="MSEED")
count = count + 360
bb=[]
name=station+B+'_'+E
a=[str(name)]
bb.append(a)
But it doesn't work. The variable name is from type:
name=2011-05-22T23:54:00.000000Z_2011-05-22T23:59:59.984000Z
And I would like to have an array like that:
bb=[2011-05-22T23:42:00.000000Z_2011-05-22T23:48:00.000000Z, 2011-05-22T23:48:00.000000Z_2011-05-22T23:54:00.000000Z, 2011-05-22T23:54:00.000000Z_2011-05-22T23:59:59.984000Z]
But what bb returns me is an array with the last element called:
bb=[2011-05-22T23:54:00.000000Z_2011-05-22T23:59:59.984000Z]
If I do it manually:
bb.append('2011-05-22T23:54:00.000000Z_2011-05-22T23:59:59.984000Z')
It works perfectly because I put the ''. But I need to it in a automatic way.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
Declare bb outside the loop and a will be a list. You will get a list of lists(not in the way you asked for)
