I've got a bit of code here that's giving me some trouble. I am trying
to make a 2 dimensional array with nested lists, but when I try to
change one element, it changes all the elements in that "column".
--begin code--
width = 7
depth = 6
board = [['.']*width]*depth
def printBoard(board):
'Prints out the 6 x 7 board'
for i in board: #print board
for j in i:
print j,
print
return
printBoard(board)
print
board[0][4]='X' #I think this is the line I'm having trouble with
print board
printBoard(board)
--end code--
Here's some of the output in question:
. . . . X . .
. . . . X . .
. . . . X . .
. . . . X . .
. . . . X . .
. . . . X . .
I'm trying to get it to make only one 'X'. Any hints? it feels kind of
like a syntax error on my part...
