I have this code:
type1 = [0]
type2 = [0]
type3 = [0]
map = {0:type1, 1:type1, 2:type3, 3:type1, 4:type2} # the real map is
longer than this
def increment(value):
map[value][0] += 1
increment(1)
increment(1)
increment(0)
increment(4)
#increment will actually be called many times through other functions
print type1[0], type2[0], type3[0]
#should print "3 1 0"
This is exactly what I want to do: every time I encounter this kind of
value in my code, increment the appropriate type by one. Then I'd like
to go back and find out how many of each type there were. This way
I've written seems simple enough and effective, but it's very ugly and
I don't think it's the intended use of lists. Does anyone know a
cleaner way to have the same funtionality?
Thanks,
THN
