PYTHON:random.py中的错误消息?用来工作,然后它没有,然后它做了,现在它不再。发生了什么?

我现在已经学习了几个月的python,通常我已经能够克服我面临的所有问题,但现在我不知所措。我正在编写一个名为“Quizzer”的节目。这将用于根据Python给出的术语和答案列表生成随机问题。 我的主要问题在于我一直在研究的gen_question函数。我希望Python接收一个术语,并输出四个多项选择答案:一个是实际的,三个是从所有可能答案的池中随机选择的。我必须包括几个检查,以确保所选的随机答案不是真正的答案,并且彼此不一样。

我今天终于开始工作了,稍后我测试了它。我收到一条错误消息(我将在一秒钟内显示)。我把一切都解开了,回到了我之前的地方,我仍然得到了同样的错误信息。几个小时后我回来了,我又得到了它。出于沮丧,我重新尝试了,它起作用了。现在它已经不再适用了。请任何人:发生了什么事?

这是我的代码(我不知道什么是必要的,所以我包括整个事情):

#import random for generating

terms_ans ={'term1':'answer1','term2':'answer2','term3':'answer3','term4':'answer4','term5':'answer5','term6':'answer6','term7':'answer7','term8':'answer8','term9':'answer9','term10':'answer10','term11':'answer11','term12':'answer12','term13':'answer13','term14':'answer14','term15':'answer15','term16':'answer16','term17':'answer17','term18':'answer18','term19':'answer19','term20':'answer20'}

        start_point = random.randint(1, len(term_list))
        if amount == len(term_list):
            #if user inputs max amount of questions possible, just take the term list
            test_terms = term_list
            found_starter = True
        elif len(term_list) - (start_point + amount) >= 0:
            #if it is suitable, then append the terms to the test questions
            for x in xrange(start_point,start_point+amount):
                test_terms.append(term_list[x])

    #Decide if the correct answer is A, B, C, or D
    correct_ans = random.randint(1,4)
    #Print the options using the variables gathered above
    if correct_ans != 1:
        print "A) " + answer_list[int_rand_ans_1]
    else:

        print "D) " + answer_list[int_rand_ans_3]
    else:
        print "D) " + terms_ans[picked_term]

    print

现在,通常会输出像您一样的所有内容。我没有自动生成问题的功能,所以我必须输入以下内容:

gen_question('term1')

或我使用的任何术语。

以下是我得到的输出:

How many questions on your test? (There are 20 questions in total.) 20
>>> gen_question('term1')

Question 1 of 20:

term1


Traceback (most recent call last):

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

这就是让你:

term_list = [...]

在文件的开头定义,但稍后在输入的数量为最大值时执行以下操作。

test_term = term_list 

这不会创建数组的副本,这会创建两个引用相同数组的变量。因此,对test_term的任何进一步修改实际上都反映在两个变量引用的列表中。

由于您在脚本中的全局级别定义test_terms,因此您在进行此调用时会对其进行NOUKE

def list_scrambler(unscrambled_list):
    test_terms=[]
    countdown = len(unscrambled_list) + 1
    for x in range(1, countdown):
        transfer_var = random.randint(0,len(unscrambled_list)-1)
        test_terms.append(unscrambled_list[transfer_var])
        del unscrambled_list[transfer_var]
    return test_terms

另外,

匈牙利语符号是一个很大的禁忌,而python则是一种强类型语言。如果您很难跟踪时间,请不要依赖变量名称。而是让自己成为一个IDE或使用表达他们正在做的事情的名称。

if something == false:

应改写为

if not something

这个更适合偏好,但是当打印出需要放入数据的文本时,你可以省去一些头痛并写下来

"D) {0}".format(somelist[index]) 

这会将变量填入{0}并为您提供一些格式化上下文,并阻止您拥有str()个对象。

另外,一般来说全局变量被认为是 的东西,它们是值得商榷的。像 C 中的全局变量有时它们有明确的目的,但是大多数情况下它们会隐藏错误并使问题更难跟踪。有时你的变量声明会影响全局变量,其他的(如你所见)会让你搞砸了。

答案 1 :(得分:0)

嗯,很明显,randint()抱怨是因为term_list是空的,对吗?然后

random.randint(1, len(term_list))

random.randint(1, 0)

并且randint被卡住了。那么为什么 term_list为空?这是因为这句话:

test_terms = list_scrambler(gen_test(int(raw_input("How many questions on your test? (There are " + str(len(term_list)) + " questions in total.) "))))

摧毁term_list,这可能;-)无意。

很难按照代码来追踪发生这种情况的原因。基本问题是gen_test可以设置

test_terms = term_list

然后以term_list名称返回test_terms。然后term_listlist_scrambler开始时仍然完好无损,但在list_scrambler结束时为空。在

        del unscrambled_list[transfer_var]

一次删除term_list中的所有元素。
