Print 7x6 two-dimensional list

Question

I need to print a two-dimensional list for a connect four game with 7 columns and 6 rows. Here is my code but it only prints a 6x6 table. The global constants from the connectfour module are: BOARD_ROWS = 6 and BOARD_COLUMNS = 7

    def print_board(game_state: list)-> None:
        for i in range(connectfour.BOARD_ROWS):
            for j in range(connectfour.BOARD_COLUMNS):
                if j != connectfour.BOARD_COLUMNS -1:
                    if game_state[j][i] == connectfour.NONE:
                        print('.', end=' ')
                    elif game_state[j][i] == connectfour.RED:
                        print('R', end=' ')
                    elif game_state[j][i] == connectfour.YELLOW:
                        print('Y', end=' ')
                else:
                    print('\n',end='')

This is the output I get:

    . . . . . . 
    . . . . . . 
    Y . . . . . 
    R . . . . . 
    R . . . . . 
    R R R Y Y Y

As you can see there are only 6 columns. However I know the 7th one is there because in this particular output the "Y" player won after dropping a piece in the 7th column. I just don't understand why it doesn't print the 7th column. Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

if j != connectfour.BOARD_COLUMNS -1: means you are specifically excluding the last column. Remove that if construction and undent the following ifs and you should be good.
