While loops
The goal to find the smallest value of a that satisfies the condition below. I realise I could use "if" instead of "while", but len(Lpathcellsdim4[s]) is big, and I want the computer to stop after it finds the first value of a satisfying the condition. I would be grateful for suggestions. Are there sage worksheets or tutorials to learn this type of thing? I have other, more complicated examples, where I want the computer to stop after it has found the first of many solutions.
The following gives an error "TypeError: argument of type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer' is not iterable"
b=0
for a in range(len(Lpathcellsdim4[s])):
while Lvectorspolyfacesdim5[Lpathcellsdim4[s][a][0]][Lpathcellsdim4[s][a][1]][Lpathcellsdim4[s][a][2]] not in Lsimppdim5[n][5][5]:
b=b+1
use next and iter. See any python manual.
Your example is unreadable, even after reformatting. Could you give us a smaller example ?
The error messages says that you are trying to index something that is an integer ; this is probably related to the nature of the objects you are using and unrelated to your
while
loop.Nothing in the
while
condition depends onb
: this loop is effectively infinite.This and this might be of some interest...
Thanks Emmanuel, there are some helpful examples there.
