Code not working as shown in the video
Hello, I followed the above lesson and typed my code exactly as in the video but my code is having some error shown below when I try to run it. What can be the problem?
data=[53,76,25,98,56,42,69,81]
data_copy=data[:]
for i in range(len(data_copy)):
for j in range(0,len(data_copy)-i-1):
if data_copy[j] > data_copy[j+1]:
data_copy[j],data_copy[j+1]=data_copy[j+1],data_copy
print(data_copy)
runfile('C:/Users/localadmin/.spyder-py3/untitled4.py', wdir='C:/Users/localadmin/.spyder-py3')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\localadmin\.spyder-py3\untitled4.py", line 20, in <module>
if data_copy[j] > data_copy[j+1]:
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'list' and 'int'
Hey Jared,
Thank you for your question!
The problem is in the second to last line. The line should read:
data_copy[j],data_copy[j+1]=data_copy[j+1],data_copy[j]
where I have added [j] at the very end.
Unfortunately, in the video, the console panel is hiding the end of that line, so the [j] is not visible at all times. I would suggest downloading the resources for the course. The relevant code you can find in the 6_1_loops.py file.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
