I am a complete newbie and this might be a dumb question: I need to make a list of the values as u can see down here. I will most likely need a for loop using append from what I have read till now but I cant really grasp how to do it in my case. I want to start with the min value 23 and increment by 2 until I reach the max 31 And I would need to be able to change the values in the for loop for future changes The +3 has to be added everytime regardless It would be great if someone could help me.
arrivalDistance = meanSpeed * (23 + 3) arrivalDistance2 = meanSpeed * (25 + 3) arrivalDistance3 = meanSpeed * (27 + 3) arrivalDistance4 = meanSpeed * (29 + 3) arrivalDistance5 = meanSpeed * (31 + 3)

Answer
Instead of evaluating the + 3
and + 23
at each variable, you can use a loop, and directly add the numbers to the parameters of the loop:
a = 23 + 3 b = 5 step = 2 arrivalDistance = [meanSpeed * i for i in range(a, a + b * step, step)]
So a
is the starting value, b
is the additional value, c
is the number of variables and step
is the increment amount.
