🔒 Trying to clean up some code by turning three operations into a range(3) loop.

Hit the char limit and had to put it in a link.

In my mind if I can find a way to generate these outputs in a loop then I can just sub in those for my array indexes and crunch all of this into a singe loop:

when i = 0
then
x = 0
y = 1

when i = 1
then
x = 0
y = 2

when i = 2
then
x = 1
y = 2

for i in range(3):
if "99" not in [sorted_game[x][0], sorted_game[y][0]]:
  score = data["diffs"][f"{sorted_game[x][0]}_{sorted_game[y][0]}"]
  if score > 0:
    msg = f"{msg}\n{score} for {friends[sorted_game[x][0]]} vs    {friends[sorted_game[y][0]]}"
  else:
    msg = f"{msg}\n{abs(score)} for {friends[sorted_game[y][0]]} vs     {friends[sorted_game[x][0]]}"

Any ideas?

so the pattern is always "add one to y, then add 1 to x"?

[candid sinew]

sounds more like a dictionary problem than a loop problem

Unless I am missing something I do not think so. but when i think about it I may be able to rearrange this then use boolean (wrong word for this i think but just on/off logic shifted left).

so the output is

i = 0 ; 0 1
i = 1 ; 1 2
i = 2 ; 0 1

since now I am just flipping back then forth

[candid sinew]

!e

i = {
    0: (0, 1),
    1: (1, 2),
    2: (0, 1),
}

print(i[0])
print(i[1])
print(i[2])

@candid sinew :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | (0, 1)
002 | (1, 2)
003 | (0, 1)

hmmmm, nifty

I was trying to think of it in the sense of a little logical test in each loop, but a lookup just solves it all

[candid sinew]

jup

[sage atlas]

is it always "even numbers are 0, 1" and "odd numbers are 1, 2"?

[twilit terrace]

ty and I can even store that lookup in the json that I am loading in anyways

[twilit terrace]

that too!

[candid sinew]

thats also a nice solution

better even

[sage atlas]

yeah, seems a lot more straightforward than having a lookup

[twilit terrace]

I may be overlooking something with how I rearragned things. If I cannot swap around the run order I can go with the dreammaster solution, if I can then fashoomps

thank you both btw @sage atlas @candid sinew 🫂
