Pycharm says "simplify chained comparison". I dont know how.

[Mattyp77]

Im writing a rock paper scissor program and here is the block that its refering to:

if to_check > 0 and to_check < 4:
    match(to_check)
else:
    clear_screen()
    print('Select a number between 1 and 3')
    input('Press ENTER to continue ')
    clear_screen()
    main_menu()

Its telling me to simplify the if statement.
if x > 0 and x < 4:

I dont see how to do that???

Hello !

Python - if in range(), if not in range() - Examples

Python IF IN range() and IF NOT IN range() expressions can be used to check if a number is present in the range or not. In this tutorial, we have examples to check if a number is present in the range.

www.tutorialkart.com

if number in range(1,4)

use a range checking with your 'if'

 

[VBService]

Try like this ..

if 0 < x < 4:

def isInRange(x):
    if 0 < x < 4:
        return True
    return False

for test in range(-1, 6):
    print(test, str(isInRange(test)))

 

[Mattyp77]

Try like this ..

if 0 < x < 4:

def isInRange(x):
    if 0 < x < 4:
        return True
    return False

for test in range(-1, 6):
    print(test, str(isInRange(test)))

Wow that is a really interesting syntaxes for an if statement that I didn't know existed. But I'm not really a fan of it to be honest. At least for this case I think the range is the best way to go. But that would be a good fit for another situation idk. Either way pretty cool. I'm glad I now know about it.

i also checked to see if you can keep adding on to that ex. If x > y < z < i:
And I see that you can.

It's funny because I always wished there was a shorter way to compare 1 variable in multiple ways without having to keep writing it over and over.
Ex. If x ... and x ... and x... :

Is there a shorter way of doing that wether it be a string and int or whatever and wether is in an if statement of a while loop, whatever...

Python can operate with very interesting syntax e.g

x = 1
# isInRange = (False, True)[0 < x < 4]
# print(isInRange)
print((False, True)[0 < x < 4])

fruit = 'BANANA'
print(*fruit)           #  B A N A N A
print(*fruit, sep='.')  #  B.A.N.A.N.A
print([*fruit])         #  ['B', 'A', 'N', 'A', 'N', 'A']

a = { 'lorem1': 1, 'impsum1': 2, 'dolor1': 3, 'amet1': 4 }
b = { 'lorem2': 1, 'impsum2': 2 }
c = { **a, **b }
 
print(c)

txt = 'PyTHoN'
 
print(f'{txt:*<40}')
print(f'{txt:*>40}')
print(f'{txt:*^40}')
 
for i in range(len(txt) + 1, 41):
    print(f'{txt:*>{i}}')

and My favorite [ on-line ]

count_to_10       = [ '1','2','3','4' '5','6','7','8','9','10' ]
print(len(count_to_10))
 
count_to_10_again = [ '1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10' ]
print(len(count_to_10_again))

I think this is probably what it was looking for. Interesting enough that it would fuss over something like that. Guess it's just going by the book.

That first example is pretty cool. And the last one... please explain to me what is going on here. I feel like that could really screw a guy up in a project.

What is going on with that last example? I know python starts counting from 0 so why the difference on the second list?

Dammit you trickster I see what you did now. Lol

 

[VBService]

python starts counting from 0

not starts counting, starts indexing from 0

INDEX [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
ARRAY [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]
COUNT [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] # len(ARRAY)

 

[Mattyp77]

not starts counting, starts indexing from 0

INDEX [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
ARRAY [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]
COUNT [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] # len(ARRAY)

So an array doesn't start at 0? Furthermore I thought python didn't have arrays or rather its just called a list instead.

 

[VBService]

I know that python didn't have arrays.
I used ARRAY more as name of variable for demonstration purpose, maybe a bit unfortunate, because it is misleading.

demo_list = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
print(len(demo_list), type(demo_list), '\n')
for index, value in enumerate(demo_list):
    print(index, value)

demo_tuple = ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 )
print(len(demo_tuple), type(demo_tuple), '\n')
for index, value in enumerate(demo_tuple):
    print(index, value)

demo_set = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
print(len(demo_set), type(demo_set), '\n')
for index, value in enumerate(demo_set):
    print(index, value)

any way INDEX start from 0
