why does the code shows nothing when i run it-CodePudding

I was trying to make a lottery generating machine that checks how many tries it takes to get that winning ticket

from random import choice

pack = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,'a','b','c','d','e')


my_ticket=[]
times = -1

robot_ticket = []
while len(robot_ticket) < 5:
    robo = choice(pack)
    robot_ticket.append(robo)
    continue

while robot_ticket == my_ticket:
    if robot_ticket not in my_ticket:
        times=times 1
        my_ticket.clear()
        while len(my_ticket) < 5:
            robo = choice(pack)
            my_ticket.append(robo)

    elif robot_ticket in my_ticket:
        print(f"total nuber of tries: {times}")

this program was the task of eric matthens book ie, 9.15

CodePudding user response：

while robot_ticket == my_ticket

This condition will never be true because my_ticket is an empty array and it is getting compared with robot_ticket which has 5 random values.

Code:-

from random import choice
pack = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,'a','b','c','d','e')
my_ticket=[]
times = -1
robot_ticket = []
while len(robot_ticket) < 5:
    robo = choice(pack)
    robot_ticket.append(robo)
    myticket=choice(pack)
    my_ticket.append(myticket)
    
while robot_ticket != my_ticket:
    times=times 1
    my_ticket.clear()
    while len(my_ticket) < 5:
        myticket=choice(pack)
        my_ticket.append(myticket)

print(f"Total nuber of tries: {times}")

Output:-

Total nuber of tries: 25022
