功能与测试结果不匹配

我应该运行文件assign2_partI_test_file并获得以下结果。我无法得到正确的结果。

我的代码:

def to_string(my_list, sep=', '):

  result = ' '
  msg = 'List is: '
  for char in my_list:

      str_list1 = ['r', 'i', 'n', 'g', 'i', 'n', 'g']

      if my_list == str_list1:

          result = msg + sep.join(my_list)

      return result

我的输出:

Start testing!

length Test

Start Testing!

length Test
List length: 7
List length: 0

to_string Test
List is: r, i, n, g, i, n, g
List is: r-i-n-g-i-n-g
None # (THIS IS SUPPOSED TO DISPLAY: List is: )

测试代码:

import list_function

print("\nStart Testing!")

str_list1 = ['r', 'i', 'n', 'g', 'i', 'n', 'g']
str_list2 = ['r', 'e', 'd']
empty = []

print("\nlength Test")
print("List length:", list_function.length(str_list1))
print("List length:", list_function.length(empty))

print("\nto_string Test")
string = list_function.to_string(str_list1)
print(string)
string = list_function.to_string(str_list1, sep='-')
print(string)
print(list_function.to_string(empty))

print("\nEnd Testing!\n")

我将作为评论更多地回答这个问题:

def to_string(my_list, sep=', '):

  result = ' ' 
  # only needed because of the odd return
  msg = 'List is: ' 
  # fine, but you only use it once, so why not put the literal there?
  for char in my_list: 
  # why loop?

      str_list1 = ['r', 'i', 'n', 'g', 'i', 'n', 'g'] 
      # hard-coded the test...

      if my_list == str_list1: 
      # ...so you guarantee it only works for one input - why?!

          result = msg + sep.join(my_list) 
          # this line is useful

      return result 
      # but only inside the for loop?!

你可以把这个功能简化为一行(你已经写了很多!),这样做的好处就是它会有任何意义并且有效。


这是一个与函数输出匹配的简化函数:

def to_string(my_list, sep=', '):
    if my_list == ['r', 'i', 'n', 'g', 'i', 'n', 'g']: # test case
        return 'List is: ' + sep.join(my_list)
    elif len(my_list) > 0: # any other non-empty list
        return ' '
    else: # empty list
        return None

这会让事情更清楚吗?这三种情况之间是否真的存在这么大的(或任何)差异?

为什么不在elifelse部分写下其他条件?您已为一个条件编写,即仅在my_list == str_list1时编写。但其他条件会发生什么?例如empty列表?您可能也想检查一下。

def to_string(my_list, sep=', '):
    result = ' '
    msg = 'List is: '
    str_list1 = ['r', 'i', 'n', 'g', 'i', 'n', 'g']
    if my_list == str_list1:
        result = msg + sep.join(my_list)
    elif my_list == []:            ## you can also use "len(my_list) == 0:"
        result = msg
    return result

现在您遇到问题None # (THIS IS SUPPOSED TO DISPLAY: List is: )的原因是for循环。for char in my_list:仅在my_list非空时运行。但是当你传递空列表时,for循环将不会执行,因为它没有任何迭代。
