i was working on implementing the original supermemo algorithm (see http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm for a description of it) in a class, and i'd just finished up the first draft. it works for repetitions one and two, but on repetition three (you must manually increment item.reps.) or higher it recurses until it reaches the limit. can someone point out what i'm doing wrong here?
here's the code: class item: def __init__(self, key, value): self.key = key self.value = value self.reps = 1 self.ef = 2.5 def interval(self): if(self.reps==1): return 2 if(self.reps==2): return 6 return (self.interval() - 1) * self.ef
You're not changing self.reps at all, so interval() keeps getting called over and over again with self.reps == 3.
