Hi all,
I am fairly new to Python and trying to figure out a syntax error
concerning lists and iteration through the same. What I am trying to do is
sum a list of float values and store the sum in a variable for use later.
The relevant code looks like this -
def getCredits():
""" This function asks the user to input any credits not shown on their
bank statement
It returns the sum(converted to float) of the entered credits """
global credits
credlist = []
credits = 0.0
temp = 0.0
print "Now you need to enter any credits not shown on your bank statement
\n"
print "Please enter a zero (0) once all credits have been entered \n"
raw_input("Hit 'Enter' to continue \n")
temp = float(raw_input("Please enter the first credit \n"))
while temp != 0:
credlist.append(temp)
temp = float(raw_input("Please enter the next credit \n"))
i = 0
for i in credlist:
credits += credlist[i]
i = i + 1
return credits
And the syntax error I get is this -
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./BankReconciler_Rev1.py", line 129, in ?
main()
File "./BankReconciler_Rev1.py", line 116, in main
getCredits()
File "./BankReconciler_Rev1.py", line 60, in getCredits
credits += credlist[i]
TypeError: list indices must be integers
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate
it.
Thanks in advance
