I have a temporary array so that the original array won't be overwritten in each loop. I know that's not what it is actually doing, but I have no other explanation...
e = .95
f = .95
g = .95
h = .95
for a in range(0,10):
e = e + .01
for b in range(0,10):
f = f + .01
for c in range(0,10):
g = g + .01
for d in range(0,10):
h = h + .01
adj = []
temp2 = original
for x in temp2:
print x
x[0] = x[0] * e
x[4] = x[4] * e
x[1] = x[1] * f
x[5] = x[5] * f
x[2] = x[2] * g
x[6] = x[6] * g
x[3] = x[3] * h
x[7] = x[7] * h
x[8] = x[8] * e
x[12] = x[12] * e
x[9] = x[9] * f
x[13] = x[13] * f
x[10] = x[10] * g
x[14] = x[14] * g
x[11] = x[11] * h
x[15] = x[15] * h
adj.append(sum(x))
When I print x, it is increasing as if it is not a temporary variable.
temp2 is not a separate array, it is a reference to the same array. You probably want to copy x into temp2. One way to do this would be with the following line of code:
import copy
temp2 = copy.deepcopy(original)
This assumes that this is the issue you're seeing. From your description and your code, it's not quite clear exactly what is not behaving as expected.
