Hi,
if one has a set of values which should never step outside certain
bounds (for example if the values were negative then they wouldn't be
physically meaningful) is there a nice way to bounds check? I
potentially have 10 or so values I would like to check at the end of
each iteration. However as the loop is over many years I figured I
probably want to be as optimal as possible with my check. Any
thoughts?
e.g. this is my solution
# module contain data
# e.g. print state.something might produce 4.0
import state as state
def main():
for i in xrange(num_days):
# do stuff
# bounds check at end of iteration
bounds_check(state)
def bounds_check(state):
""" check state values are > 0 """
for attr in dir(state):
if not attr.startswith('__') and getattr(state, attr) < 0.0:
print "Error state values < 0: %s" % (attr)
sys.exit()
if __name__ == "__main__":
sys.exit(main())
thanks
Martin
