So, I'm having a bit of trouble with this piece of code.
if s.get("home") < s.get("away"):
scoringplays = scoringplays + s.get("away") + "-" + s.get("home") + " " + game.get("away_team_name")
elif s.get("home") > s.get("away"):
scoringplays = scoringplays + s.get("home") + "-" + s.get("away") + " " + game.get("home_team_name")
else:
scoringplays = scoringplays + s.get("home") + "-" + s.get("away") + " Tied"
It pulls the score of a baseball game from MLB and posts it to reddit like so:
4-3 Winning Team Name
However, I've noticed if one of the scores is in double digits, the code seems to only read the first digit, so a score of 10-2 would display like so:
2-10 Losing Team Name
I've searched around a bit, and perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms, but I can't seem to find an answer in here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like you're comparing strings:
>>> "10" < "2"
True
Compare their integer version:
if int(s.get("home")) < int(s.get("away"))
If the key is missing from the dict then dict.get returns None by default. You can also pass your own default value.
home_score = int(s.get("home", 0)) # or choose some other default value
away_score = int(s.get("away", 0))
if home_score < away_score:
#do something
Demo:
>>> int("10") < int("2")
False
