Basically, I have a code with is almost finished but I've having
difficultly with the last stage of the process. I have a program that
gets assigns different words with a different value via looking them up
in a dictionary:
eg if THE is in the writing, it assigns 0.965
and once the whole passage is read it returns all the numbers in the
format as follows:
['0.965', '1.000', '0.291', '1.000', '0.503']
However, I can't seem to get the program to treat the numbers as
numbers. If I put them in the dictionary as 'THE' = int(0.965) the
program returns 1.0 and if I put 'THE' = float(0.965) it returns
0.9655549 or something similar. Neither of these are right! I
basically need to access each item in the string as a number, because
for my last function I want to multiply them all together by each
other.
I have tried two bits of code for this last bit, but neither are
working (I'm not sure about the first one but the second one should
work I think if I could figure out how to return the values as
numbers):
1st code
value = codons[x] * codons[x+1]
x = (int)
x = 0
print value
x +=2
if (xr):
new_value = value * codons[x]
value = new_value
x +=1
else:
print new_value
This gives the error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File C:\Python24\code2, line 88, in -toplevel-
value = codons[x] * codons[x+1]
NameError: name 'x' is not defined
Code 2 - the most likely code
prod = 1
for item in (codons): prod *= item
prod
print prod
Gives this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File C:\Python24\code2, line 90, in -toplevel-
for item in (codons): prod *= item
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int
Anyone got any ideas?
Dave.
