🔒 what can I do? quick question

[clear surge]

I have a question, let’s say I get a huge block of integers and I have to do a corresponding task depending on the integer I will use a for loop and if, but how can I scan every single integer?

what do you mean by "scan"?

and what do you mean by "block"?

[clear surge]

Here’s an example of what I mean by a block of integers

2 4 1 3 4 3 2 1 1 3 2 4 4 1 3 2 3 4 2 1 2 4 3 1 3 2 1 4 2 3 1 4 3 2 4 1 3 2 1 4 3 2 4 3 1 2 4 1 3 2 1 4 3 1 4 2 3 2 1 4 3 2 4 1 3 1 2 3 4 1 4 2 3 3 4 2 1 4 1 3 2 2 4 3 1 1 2 3 4 4 3 1 2 3 2 1 4 1 3 2

So for example I want my code to check each digit

Each digit has a corresponding action

i'd suggest putting them in a text file and then reading and parsing the file

[clear surge]

Parsing?

[safe grail]

general term for transforming an input into something you can use

are you familiar with opening files with python?

[clear surge]

No

[safe grail]

with open("path/to/myfile.txt") as file:
    for line in file:  # line is a string representing each line in the file
        numbers = line.split()  # splitting that string by spaces into a list of the numbers (as strings)

the path to the file is relative to your current working directory

[clear surge]

Then I can turn the strings into int?

[stark hinge]

If all you need to do is correspond a value to some sort of action, then it doesn't necessarily need to be int

unless you're using them to index a list of actions

[safe grail]

but yes, you could if you really need to

[clear surge]

I mean like I want to set a value = 0 then depending on the number either 2, 4 would do west and east so it’s coordinates would change

So I want my program to check every number so it can assign the new position
