How do I get arrays to couple multiple numbers?

Time:10-24

I'm making a game with a saving system in Python, but it doesn't work as intended.

thingcount = saveArray[0]

The code above is supposed to set thingcount to 5454, as shown in the saveArray:

[5454, 0, 1]

But it only sets thingcount to 5. Does anyone know how to do this?

CodePudding user response:

As some of the comments have noted, if saveArray truly equals [5454, 0, 1], then the command print(thingcount) will yield your desired output of [5454]

If thingcount[0] yields an output of 5, then at some point in your code, saveArray is being set to 5454 only - Maybe as a string, but not the full list of [5454, 0, 1]

Below are two code snippets for a comparison example:

Desired Output

saveArray = [5454, 0, 1]
thingcount = saveArray[0]

print (thingcount)

Console output:

5454

Code that will yield the output you're seeing

saveArray = '5454'
thingcount = saveArray[0]

print (thingcount)

Console output:

5

In any case, I would check what saveArray is being set to - At some point in your code, its being set to a different value, not your full target list of [5454,0,1]
