2,889 PointsWhy is create_row returning so many cards?
AFAIK my code is the same for the create_row method as in the video:
from cards import Card
import random
class Game:
def __init__(self):
self.size = 4
self.card_options = ['to', 'yo', 'fi', 'fo',
'mo', 'it', 'ab', 'ta']
self.cards = []
self.columns = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
self.locations = []
for column in self.columns:
for num in range(1, self.size + 1):
self.locations.append(f'{num}{column}')
def set_cards(self):
used_locations = []
for word in self.card_options:
for i in range(2):
available_locations = set(self.locations) - set(used_locations)
random_location = random.choice(list(available_locations))
used_locations.append(random_location)
card = Card(word, random_location)
self.cards.append(card)
def create_row(self, num):
row = []
for column in self.columns:
for card in self.cards:
if card.location == f'{column}{num}':
if card.matched:
row.append(str(card))
else:
row.append(' ')
return row
if __name__ == '__main__':
game = Game()
game.set_cards()
game.cards[0].matched = True
game.cards[1].matched = True
game.cards[2].matched = True
game.cards[3].matched = True
print(game.create_row(1))
print(game.create_row(2))
print(game.create_row(3))
print(game.create_row(4))
but this is what I return:
[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '
', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']
[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '
', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']
[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '
', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']
[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ',
' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '
', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ']
What's going wrong here?

,
if card.location == f'{column}{num}':
if card.matched:
row.append(str(card))
else:
row.append(' ')
The code currently appends ' '
to row
whenever card.location == f'{column}{num}
is false. Try increasing the indent of the else block so that it is at the same level as if card.matched:
.
if card.location == f'{column}{num}':
if card.matched:
row.append(str(card))
else:
row.append(' ')

Treehouse ModeratorHey Henry Williams It looks like your code does match Megan's other than your word sizes are 2 rather than 3. The issue might be in your cards.py
file. Are you able to send a snapshot link of your workspace so that I can dig a bit further in the code?

2,889 PointsHowdy Mel, I thought that might be the culprit too so I took a look back and forth and my beginner's eyes just aren't seeing what's off.

2,889 PointsThat was it. I remember I had inadvertently changed the indent size only to go back later and try and correct it...and that slipped out of place. Thanks!
