Hey, I have a Pascal compiler just one apt-get away ;)
Here's how I'd translate the above, without trying to be too clever:
from random import random
def generic_condition():
return random() > 0.7
def loop():
count = 0
m = 0
lookup = {1: 1, 2: 10, 3: 100}
for iterations in range(20): # off by one
# ...
print "%2d %1d %3d" % (iterations, count, m)
# ...
if generic_condition():
count += 1
# ...
m = lookup.get(count, m)
if count == 4:
break
if __name__ == "__main__":
loop()
print "That's all, folks"
Something must be wrong with me today because I find the Pascal code /more/
readable...
