I am trying to open a csv file in python and read the rows into a list.
The list is then sent to a function where I want to add 5 to the value of x after each iteration with the value of d going up by 10 after every 10th iteration.
d I have working but can’t quite figure out x. Please can someone help me understand where I am going wrong with my math. I thought setting x = 0 outside the loop and then x+=5 inside would do it.
results = []
with open('file.csv', newline='') as inputfile:
for row in csv.reader(inputfile):
results.append(row[0]) # 24 rows in csv file
def buildcount(listGroup, z):
listGroup = listGroup
z = z
x = 0
for i in range (0, len(listGroup))
print(i)
d = 10*(i // 10 + z)
x +=5
print(x)
if i % 10 == 0:
x = 0
return i
z = 10
mainInput = results
buildcount(mainInput)
#current output of x

Answer
It looks like you’re looking for some fairly simple math on the loop counter:
def buildcount(listGroup):
for i in range (0, len(listGroup)):
x = (i % 10) * 5
d = (i // 10) * 10
print(f'i={i}, x={x}, d={d}')
return i
Output (for a 24-entry listGroup):
i=0, x=0, d=0 i=1, x=5, d=0 i=2, x=10, d=0 i=3, x=15, d=0 i=4, x=20, d=0 i=5, x=25, d=0 i=6, x=30, d=0 i=7, x=35, d=0 i=8, x=40, d=0 i=9, x=45, d=0 i=10, x=0, d=10 i=11, x=5, d=10 i=12, x=10, d=10 i=13, x=15, d=10 i=14, x=20, d=10 i=15, x=25, d=10 i=16, x=30, d=10 i=17, x=35, d=10 i=18, x=40, d=10 i=19, x=45, d=10 i=20, x=0, d=20 i=21, x=5, d=20 i=22, x=10, d=20 i=23, x=15, d=20
