Class method returning multiple values,dont know which is returned when.. - ujjwalrathod007 - Sep-29-2016
Dear all, Good morning from Germany,
I have a python code in which the function returns two values. Out of which, only one value changes at a time and other remains the same. I want to find which is changing and want to append it. The code looks as following
def calcrand(self,xlowrand,xhighrand):
xalg = self.xalg
yalg = self.yalg
xlowrand = self.xlowrand
xhighrand = self.xhighrand
if (len(xalg))>=2 and len(yalg)>=2:
last = len(yalg)-1
xPrevious = xalg[last-1]
xLast = xalg[last]
yPrevious = yalg[last-1]
yLast = yalg[last]
prevdist= abs(yalg[last-1]-ygoal)
currentdist= abs(yalg[last]-ygoal)
if currentdist<prevdist:
m=float ((yLast-yPrevious)/(xLast-xPrevious))
if m>0:
if yalg[last]< ygoal:
xlowrand=xalg[last]
return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand),
else:
xhighrand=xalg[last]
return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand)
elif yalg[last]< ygoal:
xhighrand=xalg[last]
return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand)
else:
xlowrand=xalg[last]
return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand)
elif (len(xalg))==1:
return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand)
elif (len(xalg))<1:
return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand)
else:
print('there are no data')
return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand)I run this in a loop...

Hello,
Since you are already returning a tuple, just add a third value which indicates what the other two values are.
this can be a code, 1 - condition 1, 2 - condition 2, ... or it can be a string like ,m < 0'

Hello, I am still not clear what do you mean??
I get output as following when I run it in loop
Quote:returnvalue 0.0 9.0
returnvalue 0.0 7.59979666373
returnvalue 0.0 7.59979666373
returnvalue 0.0 7.59979666373
returnvalue 0.0 7.59979666373
returnvalue 3.8855839217 7.59979666373
returnvalue 5.3895954547 7.59979666373
returnvalue 7.12194804382 7.59979666373
returnvalue 7.26688561137 7.59979666373
returnvalue 7.26688561137 7.42555000493
returnvalue 7.26688561137 7.42555000493
returnvalue 7.41097079158 7.42555000493
for the first iteration (0 , 9) is the return than (0 , 7.599) so I only want to append like (0, 9, 7.599, 3.88, 5.38, )

Hello,
Taking the following snippet of your code:
if currentdist<prevdist: m=float ((yLast-yPrevious)/(xLast-xPrevious)) if m>0: if yalg[last]< ygoal: xlowrand=xalg[last] return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand), else: xhighrand=xalg[last] return float(xlowrand),float(xhighrand)you could add a list which shows how the values were constructed like:
msg = []
if currentdist < prevdist:
msg.append('currentdist < prevdist')
m = float((yLast - yPrevious) / (xLast - xPrevious))
if m > 0:
msg.append('m > 0')
if yalg[last] < ygoal:
xlowrand = xalg[last]
return float(xlowrand), float(xhighrand), msg
else:
msg.append('m <= 0')
xhighrand = xalg[last]
return float(xlowrand), float(xhighrand), msgNow results will include a list like:3.8855839217, 7.59979666373, ['currentdist < prevdist', 'm <= 0']Larz60+
