Hello,
Now I have this :
def add_vectors(u, v):
"""
>>> add_vectors([1, 0], [1, 1])
[2, 1]
>>> add_vectors([1, 2], [1, 4])
[2, 6]
>>> add_vectors([1, 2, 1], [1, 4, 3])
[2, 6, 4]
>>> add_vectors([11, 0, -4, 5], [2, -4, 17, 0])
[13, -4, 13, 5]
"""
teller=0
getal1=0
getal2=0
while teller < len(u):
getal1 = u[teller] + v[teller]
teller=teller+1
return uitkomst2
uitkomst= []
uitkomst2=[]
vector= [1, 2, 1], [1, 4, 3]
v=vector[0]
u=vector[1]
uitkomst = add_vectors(u,v)
print uitkomst
The only problem I have is to build up uitkomst2.
on every loop getal1 has the value of the outcome.
So I thought this would work
uitkomst2 [teller] = getal1
But then i get a out of range.
Where did you put that statement? Was it indented like getal1= and
teller= ? I doubt it. If you don't use the value till the loop is
over, then the subscript will be wrong, and so will the value.
The other problem is you're confusing the variables inside the function
with the ones declared outside. While you're learning, you should use
different names for the two sets of variables. So create a new variable
inside the function, called something like result. Give it an initial
value, a list of the desired size. Then assign to one of its elements
each time through the loop. And don't forget to change the return
statement to return that variable instead of the confused-named one.
