I am trying to create a ballot system in which a user can input candidates names and then input preference scores. The program then works out the winner and prints a result.
I am getting an annoying return from my console when I run this line of code.
for i in range(len(winners)[i]):
The error reads:
TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable
(Edited: Code dump redacted.)
You want to iterate over winners:
for i in winners:
What you were trying to do::
for i in range(len(winners)):
will iterate through indexes, your error was the [i] that have nothing to do here.
The function len returns an integer, which is the length of the array in question. Hence, when you add the subscript [i], you are trying to access an array, which you don't have.
If you want access to all indices, you need to use for i in range(0,len(winners)). If you want access to every element of the array, without worrying about the indices, the use for s in winners.
I hope it helps.
0 is the default start argument to range, so you can leave it out in this case
[i]there does?
