Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

maybe there is only one case where santa and robot are equal?

#

(also, for these "synced" loopings, you can use zip() )

Maybe you wanna sort your lists first if they aren't already, since you're comparing by index

#

I mean ig depending on what's in them that might not even help

#

The comparison algorithm is a little shaky if it's not for something very specific

it depends on what OP is actually trying to do

fast tinsel
#

oh god. You are right

#

I am comparing by index, so the for loop is comparing correctly, I just never sorted my lists

#

I love you skittles

Huh, glad my random shot in the dark helped lol

#

What exactly are you trying to do though in your words?

there is a site called advent of code, it gives u problems which can be solved by use of code. For this problem I am given 8000ish characters in a text file. The characters are ^v><, which indicate north, south, east, and west. The problem says that there are two people(santa and robot santa) who start at the same house in a 2-dimensional world. They both drop presents off at this house and then take turns taking commands from the text file(with santa going first). Each ^v>< represents one house in either the north, east, south, or west direction. And the end goal is to see how many DIFFERENT houses they collectively went to. Meaning if they visited the same house, it would only count as one house visited.
