Three user inputs three global variables-CodePudding

I’m having problems with changing my global variables within my function, which also uses user input and (too many) if statements to do so. I keep getting the same error but at different points if I change something.

m=0.0
AH=1.0
ndays=0.0
Day_Count = (ndays," day out of 90")
def AtomicHabits():

   wo = input("Did you work out? Y/N? ")

   tr = input("Did you study/practice trading? Y/N?")

   co = input("Practice coding? Y/N?")

   if (wo=='y'):
    m=m 1
   if (tr=='y'):
    m=m 1
   if (co=='y'):
    m=m 1
   if (m==3):
    m=.01
   elif (m==2):
    m=.0066
   elif (m==1):
    m=.0033
   elif (m==0):
    m=(-.01)

   AH=AH*(1.0 m)
   ndays=ndays 1
   return AH, m, ndays; 

AtomicHabits()

print(“Today’s change is “, m*100, “% on ”, Day_count, bringing total improvement to “, AH )

I’m completely lost, first time posting here so idek how to use the search

CodePudding user response：

You need to assign them as global inside your function.

m = 0
...

def func():
    global m
    .. 
    m = 1

This will make m = 1

CodePudding user response：

I would rewrite your code to something along this lines.

Split input part
Modularize the code to have build extensible testing on top it.

M = 0.0
AH = 1.0
Ndays=0.0

def check_atomic_habits(wo,tr,co):
  global M,AH,Ndays
  
  if (wo=='y'):
    M=M 1
  if (tr=='y'):
    M=M 1
  if (co=='y'):
    M=M 1
  if (M==3):
    M=.01
  elif (M==2):
    M=.0066
  elif (M==1):
    M=.0033
  elif (M==0):
    M-=-.01
  
  AH=AH*(1.0 M)
  Ndays=Ndays 1
  

def user_input():
  # Replace here
  wo = "Y" # input("Did you work out? Y/N? ")
  tr = "Y" # input("Did you study/practice trading? Y/N?")
  co = "N" # input("Practice coding? Y/N?")
  return wo,tr,co

# This is simulation for two days.
for i in range(2):
  wo,tr,co=user_input()
  check_atomic_habits(wo=wo,tr=tr,co=co)
  print(f"Today’s change is , {M*100} on {Ndays} day out of 90, bringing total improvement to {AH}" )

This is would generate the following o/p:

Today’s change is , 1.0 on 1.0 day out of 90, bringing total improvement to 1.01
Today’s change is , 1.0 on 2.0 day out of 90, bringing total improvement to 1.0201

To solve your problem you could use global variables or pass your variables as parameters of your function and return them

Global variables

def AtomicHabits():

    global AH, m, ndays
    
    wo = input("Did you work out? Y/N? ")
    
    tr = input("Did you study/practice trading? Y/N?")
    
    co = input("Practice coding? Y/N?")
    
    if (wo=='y'):
        m=m 1
    if (tr=='y'):
        m=m 1
    if (co=='y'):
        m=m 1
    if (m==3):
        m=.01
    elif (m==2):
        m=.0066
    elif (m==1):
        m=.0033
    elif (m==0):
        m=(-.01)
    
    AH=AH*(1.0 m)
    ndays=ndays 1

AtomicHabits()

parameters of your function

def AtomicHabits(AH, m, ndays):

wo = input("Did you work out? Y/N? ")
    
    tr = input("Did you study/practice trading? Y/N?")
    
    co = input("Practice coding? Y/N?")
    
    if (wo=='y'):
        m=m 1
    if (tr=='y'):
        m=m 1
    if (co=='y'):
        m=m 1
    if (m==3):
        m=.01
    elif (m==2):
        m=.0066
    elif (m==1):
        m=.0033
    elif (m==0):
        m=(-.01)
    
    AH=AH*(1.0 m)
    ndays=ndays 1
    return AH, m, ndays 

AH, m, ndays = AtomicHabits(AH, m, ndays)

I rewrote your code with a couple of changes

m = 0.0
AH = 1.0
ndays = 0.0

def AtomicHabits(m, AH, ndays):

    wo = input("Did you work out? Y/N? ")

    tr = input("Did you study/practice trading? Y/N?")

    co = input("Practice coding? Y/N?")

    m  = [wo, tr, co].count("y")
      
    if m==0:
        m = -0.01
    else:
        m = 0.01/(3/m)
    
    AH *= 1.0   m
    ndays=ndays 1
   
    return m, AH, ndays 

m, AH, ndays = AtomicHabits(m, AH, ndays)

print(f"Today’s change is , {m*100} on {ndays} day out of 90, bringing total improvement to {AH}" )
