如何使用初始值递归地将参数输入到此函数中？

Question

so I have this function which takes in an array of arrays and outputs an array of arrays with different values (I am attempting genetic programming breeding function).

So my problem is as follows: I have a main function which is called evolve(population) which takes in an array of arrays and outputs a new one. I would like to keep calling this function on successive populations, however, I'm not quite sure how to?

So we have an initial array x and we pass it into evolve(x) which outputs a new array of arrays y, now I would like to pass evolve(y) into my function and so on for z amount of times (in a for loop). Can this be done?

Answer 1

This should do the job quite nicely;

population = [1, 2, 3, 4]  # any list
z = 10  # evolve 10 times

for i in range(z):
    population = evolve(population)

Answer 2

I think that you should use the recursively callback function :

def evolve(population, amount_of_time_you_want_add):
    print(population)

    if amount_of_time_you_want_add > 0:
        # your operation before callback function
        population.append("x")
        return evolve(population, amount_of_time_you_want_add-1)


evolve([1,2,3,4], 5)
