I am switching from microsoft visual basic programming to python
programming. In microsoft
visual basic you can Dim a variable so that you can add variables by
changing the number
on the end of the variable as in the following example;
Dim acct(100)
numoffiles=4
data=10
ct=1
while ct <> numoffiles
acctfile(ct) = data
ct= ct + 1
data= data + ct
Wend
The results are;
acctfile(1)=10
acctfile(2)=12
acctfile(3)=15
And you can compare the values of the new variables;
if acctfile(1) > acctfile(2) then print "yes"
if acctfile(2) > acctfile(1) then print "yes"
when I try to create acctfile(ct) = data I get the following error;
***can't assign to function call. Then it gives the program line of the
problem
Here is the progam in python;
numoffiles=4
data=10
ct=1
while ct != numoffiles:
acctfile(ct) =data
ct += 1
data= data + ct
print acctfile(ct)
Does anybody know how this is done in Python?
