This is what i currently have:
messages = {
"Placeholder": 0,
"1": 48,
"2": 4,
"3": 31,
"4": 2
}
def pls():
messages_sorted = sorted(messages, key=messages.get, reverse=True)
for i in range(10):
output = []
try:
currp = str(messages_sorted[i])
if currp == "Placeholder":
print("PLACEHOLDER DETECTED")
return output
currpp = messages[currp]
output.append(f"{currp} has {currpp} and is Place {i+1}")
print(output)
except IndexError:
print("Index error")
except:
print("some other error")
return output
output = pls()
output = str(output)
output = output.replace("['", "")
output = output.replace("']", "")
print(output)
I already used this question's Answer to make the different Outputs one List, however when i run it, it returns an empty List. When i remove the following part:
if currp == "Placeholder":
print("PLACEHOLDER DETECTED")
return output
I just get a bunch of Index Errors. The
print(output)
inside the for-loop gets me exactly what i need in the Console (as different strings), however i cant return it as a List or variable . How can i do that?
Your output=[]
is inside your for loop. So at each iteration, its value is reinitialized, you should try again with output=[]
before the for loop
