                   vostok1crew = Cosmonaut[0][1] # First, we declare the "vostok1crew" variable. I chose to make it the skill of the first cosmonaut, but 0 is just as good, if not better.
                   
            for cosmonaut in Cosmonaut: # Now, for every entry in Cosmonaut...
                if cosmonaut[1] > vostok1crew: # We'll check if the entry's skill is better than the current one.
                    vostok1crew = cosmonaut[1] # If so, we'll use that one instead.^ the code, explained ^

EDIT: OH, and I forgot to explain. When you make a "for" loop, what you call the entry(like "for cosmonaut in Cosmonaut", in this case) will be what you refer to it as. It could be "cosmonaut" as well as "entry" or "fmvairlfkjs".

[Deadmeat1471]

I get it now, thanks!

So the cosmonaut[1] was just a number to be replaced by a larger number in the list?

[Darvi]

Gah, I did the cosmonauts in a seperate pad while I was testing, forgot to add the 'moral' statistic! Thanks for the spot!

Yea, suspected it might be like that.

Win!

Here's where my lack of knowledge in Python may be dangerous, but it seems like there's a little bit of confusion here because the iterator is the same name as the list. It might actually be clearer like this

Code: [Select]

                   vostok1crew = Cosmonaut[0][1]
            for index in Cosmonaut:
                if Cosmonaut[index] > vostok1crew: #
                    vostok1crew = Cosmonaut[index] # If so, we'll use that one instead.Notice, I changed the first 'cosmonaut' to 'index', and the '1's to 'index' as well - that's because the value of 'index' will cycle through however long the Cosmonaut list was. '1' is always just an integer - unless the for loop was actually resorting Cosmonaut, the other code would always just check the first entry.

Won't work, due to this:
vostok1crew = Cosmonaut[index]

There aren't integers in Cosmonaut, there are more lists(aka cosmonauts).

Code: [Select]

Gagarin = ['Gagarin', 3, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Titov = ['Titov', 2, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Nikolayev = ['Nikolayev', 2, 1, 1, 1, 3]
Popovich = ['Popovich', 2, 1, 1, 2, 3]
Bykovsky = ['Bykovsky', 2, 2, 2, 2, 3]
Tereshkova = ['Tereskova', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1]
Player = ['Player', 3, 1, 1, 1, 1]

Cosmonaut = [Gagarin, Titov, Nikolayev, Popovich, Bykovsky, Tereshkova, Player]
We're looking for the largest [1] value in those lists. But yeah, naming the entries "cosmonaut" was a bad idea, seeing how confusing it is.

'1' is always just an integer - unless the for loop was actually resorting Cosmonaut, the other code would always just check the first entry.

A for loop in Python, when looping over a collection, binds the loop variable to consecutive elements in the collection (granted, 'consecutive' doesn't make much sense for a dictionary, but it just treats the dictionary as a vector or array IIRC). So in this case, index is an element from Cosmonaut (and thus a misnomer).
Also, if I've got a collection that represents a collection of elements (as opposed to an array that represents a single map for example), I prefer to use plurals, to avoid confusions like this. "For each cosmonaut in comsonauts" looks better then "for each entry in cosmonaut", because the latter looks like I'm trying to loop over a single cosmonaut.

Vostok 1 launching
Launch stage successful
Performing de-orbit burn
De-orbit burn successful
Performing re-entry
Re-entry successful!
The date is 1961, Quarter 3
What would you like to do?

Bugs - improving skill is timesing not adding.
aseries makes the roll for all parts of mission
vostok1crew I think = 3 not the persons name
mission stages need to be in list, utilising if oib is in vostok1 etc etc.

Im going to be a good lil programmer and make a flow chart for mission res tomorrow. It will aid in my thinking.

This confuses me a little. Those values don't get increased, just replaced by a random number. Also, increase is never defined, I think. Unless I just missed it.

Also I think visibility should be popularity. But that's just me.

[Deadmeat1471]

Popularity sounds good, I just thought it was the wrong word. Popularity seems to me to be the amount people like you, wheras visibility is how respected and known you are. Just my reasons.

[Darvi]

Social status then?
