Tryed it and this is what I got (I did go to the web sight)
tom(h=500)$ /tmp/501/Cleanup\ At\ Startup/ptesting-128981347.87.py.command; exit
Input the maximu number of tvalue: 114
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/tom/Desktop/ptesting.py", line 20, in ?
iMatrix[index] = k
IndexError: list assignment index out of range
logout
[Process completed]
The complete listing:
#!/usr/bin/python
import random
import sys
import array
#
### generates a list of numbers between 1 and target
### and uses 23 % of these values.
#
iMatrix = []
tvalue = input('Input the maximu number of tvalue: ')
majorlop1 = int tvalue * .23)
listvalues = range(tvalue)
sep = '- '
index = 0
while index < majorlop1:
index = index + 1
k = random.choice(listvalues) + 1
iMatrix[index] = k
while index < majorlop1:
print '- %s %s' % (iMatrix[index], sep)
#
###
#
I would like to set the size of the List/array independent
of having to intialialize it prior to use.
If it help I will say the bad works I am using OSX
Thanks Tom
