Here is my code from Python, I want occurence to be one big list. When I run it I just get back many one digit lists, I tried moving the print statement out of the loop, but I only get one answer. Any ideas?
import random
rolls = 0
occurrence = []
for i in range(0, 1000):
dice1 = random.randrange(1, 7)
dice2 = random.randrange(1, 7)
rolls = rolls + 1
occurrence = [dice1 + dice2]
print(occurrence)
You can use append():
import random
rolls = 0
occurrence = []
for i in range(0, 1000):
dice1 = random.randrange(1, 7)
dice2 = random.randrange(1, 7)
rolls = rolls + 1
occurrence.append(dice1 + dice2)
print(occurrence)
This will give you a list of length 2 tuples with random numbers between 1, and 7.
occurences = [(random.randrange(1, 7) , random.randrange(1, 7)) for i in range(1000)]
A rather pythonic way would be to use a list comprehension:
occurence = [ (random.randrange(1,7)+random.randrange(1,7)) for _ in range(1000)]
From what I can tell from your question this should work:
import random
rolls = 0
occurence = []
for i in range(0,1000):
dice1 = random.randrange(1,7)
dice2 = random.randrange(1,7)
rolls = rolls + 1
occurence.append(dice1 + dice2) #you need to add each value to the list with append
print (occurence)
When you use this:
occurence = [dice1 + dice2]
That creates a new list each time the for loop runs so the result at the end of the for loop is a list with a single number.
