I'm not able to figure out what the actual formula or name for this series is:
3 : 5; 4 : 10 ; 5 : 15; etc..
Here is the code:
i = 4
n = 2
while i <= granularity and i != 3:
if (i == granularity):
return 5 * n
n += 1
i += 1
return 5
HERE IS MORE OF THE CODE I USED TO SOLVE THIS SERIES:
def getChartData(self, sym, timescale="last_day", intraday="Y", granularity="3", ytdate="False", extdhrs="n"):
dateMin = ""
dateMax = ""
alt = "hi" if timescale == "last_hi" else "lo" if timescale == "last_lo" else "cl" if timescale == "last_cl" else ""
href = ""
content = ""
sorted_content = {}
def granFac():
gran = int(granularity)
i = 4
n = 2
while i <= gran and i != 3:
if (i == gran):
return (dt.now() - td(minutes=(5 * n))).strftime("%Y/%m/%d-%H:%M:%S")
n += 1
i += 1
return (dt.now() - td(minutes=5)).strftime("%Y/%m/%d-%H:%M:%S")
So the answer is most likely a combination of two suggestions. It turns out to be a function with a range that starts at 3 and increases by one, and a domain that has a set in multiples of five starting at 5.
function { 3, 4, 5.. }( 5 | {} )
-or-
function { x ≥ 3, x ∈ Z+ }( {x|x ∈ Z+, x≡0 (mod 5)} )
It seems there is a couple ways to write it depending on which crowd you come from.
