dear fellow Python enthusiasts:
in the last year I have been experimenting with Python, and I set out to
create a function that, given a number of items and a maximum number of
items per row, would generate a table of rows of items. However, there is
one part where I believe I violate the prime directive of coding, which is
not to repeat yourself:
class Table_Creator(object):
def __init__(self, given_num_of_items, max_num_of_items_per_row):
self.total_num_of_items = range(given_num_of_items)
self.max_num_of_items_per_row = max_num_of_items_per_row
def create_grid(self):
table = []
row = []
count = 0
while self.total_num_of_items:
row.append(self.total_num_of_items.pop(0))
count += 1
if (not self.total_num_of_items) or (count ==
self.max_num_of_items_per_row):
table.append(tuple(row))
row = []
count = 0
return table
as you can see, I repeat the expressions "row = []" and "count = 0", and I
would like to know if there is something I can do to avoid repetition in
this case.
