🔒 Why doesn't it log values smaller than - 33 and larger than 25? (Is my hardware just weak)

Here's the file that searches throught the input.txt https://paste.pythondiscord.com/QPTA

and here's the input.txt itself

https://file.io/M2bXOWMfNZks

I know that there is a line in the input.txt that has a score of -61. namely the line
12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 6
(a few lines before the end)
and i have confirmed that with this evaluation file
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/Y7ZA

But it it does not log any lines that have a score of -61 for some odd reason, why do you think that is?

I doubt it's your pc

that's a relief, i tried to even split the input file to smaller ones just to check it's not my hardware

thank you for the quick response btw appreciate it

Create a new txt file with a single line that you think it should log. Then place a breakpoint at the beginning of main and follow the execution of your code with a debugger line by line to see where it goes wrong

hmm alright ill see if chatgpt can help with that, ill try

[fringe aurora]

Maybe it'll be able to say something smart, but there are generally no shortcuts here. When programmers don't get the output they want they fire up the debugger and dive in

gulp

It's a habit you should adopt. Writing the code is only part of the craft

[summer frost]

i should, shouldn't i

seems like there's no avoiding it either way, so not like i have a choice, but thank you

alright ill try running see where it goes wrong, it's large file so i will report back in a little while

[summer frost]

Oohh okay so that configurations score is actually -65. The file that searches through input.txt, assumed that relationships were symmetrical and thus only scored it -33 (about -65/2). So all that's needs is making it consider both sides of the planetary relationships

[fringe aurora]

Didn't you specifically tell it not to do that with if i >= j:?

[summer frost]

I as in chatgpt but yes, those are the dangers of not learning to code yourself and braindead asking chatgpt to do it out of laziness

much faster than doing it myself tho
