Here based on the conditions value of cows is set. And if cows is equal to 4 then the while loop should break. But here break is treated as if it is not present.
import random
r = random.randint
def get_num():
return "{0}{1}{2}{3}".format(r(1, 9), r(1, 9), r(1, 9), r(1, 9))
n = get_num()
print(n)
n = [z for z in str(n)]
def game():
cows = 0
bulls = 0
print()
usr_num = [i for i in input("enter:\n")]
usr_set = set(usr_num)
while True:
for x in usr_set:
if usr_num.count(x) >= n.count(x):
cows += n.count(x)
bulls += usr_num.count(x) - n.count(x)
elif usr_num.count(x) < n.count(x):
cows += usr_num.count(x)
bulls += n.count(x) - usr_num.count(x)
print("cows: ", cows, " bulls: ", bulls)
if cows == 4:
print("correct!")
break
else:
game()
game()
When cows = 4 , correct is printed but break is not showing its effect
And if we slightly change the code. In place of cows if we put 4 (If statement)
def game():
cows = 0
bulls = 0
print()
usr_num = [i for i in input("enter:\n")]
usr_set = set(usr_num)
while True:
for x in usr_set:
if usr_num.count(x) >= n.count(x):
cows += n.count(x)
bulls += usr_num.count(x) - n.count(x)
elif usr_num.count(x) < n.count(x):
cows += usr_num.count(x)
bulls += n.count(x) - usr_num.count(x)
print("cows: ", cows, " bulls: ", bulls)
if 4 == 4:
print("correct!")
break
else:
game()
game()
Then break is working.
You are recursing each time you do another round, which means when you break
, you only end up breaking out of the last recursion.
Instead of using tail recursion, try moving the while True:
def game():
while True:
cows = 0
bulls = 0
print()
usr_num = [i for i in input("enter:\n")]
usr_set = set(usr_num)
for x in usr_set:
if usr_num.count(x) >= n.count(x):
cows += n.count(x)
bulls += usr_num.count(x) - n.count(x)
elif usr_num.count(x) < n.count(x):
cows += usr_num.count(x)
bulls += n.count(x) - usr_num.count(x)
print("cows: ", cows, " bulls: ", bulls)
if cows == 4:
print("correct!")
break
This way we don't recurse, so our break works as you expect: see repl.it
I just tried running your code and here are more problems with your script than just the while loop.
But try this little script to learn how a while loop works:
# While loop test
i=0
j=5
while True:
if i >= j:
break
else:
print(f"{i} < {j}")
i +=1
Hope this helps. have a play.
