hi,
This is answer for my question? But perhaps I understand you.
Thanks

#270

Hello
precisely in python it is proposed the next line.
    print(“Debug messages…”, file=sys.stderr)

But if I want to know, for example the value of the variable : thor_y

#271

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print

The first argument is an object, so you can write a message like “Debug messages…” or send a variable like thor_y.

#272

In this case the precise print is dedicated to thor movement.
I ask print(thor_y)
He respond
Expected a movement (one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) but found ‘5’

#273

Have you read the link given by @yohannjardin?

#274

I just got it.
The syntax is:
print (“Debug messages …”, thor_y, file = sys.stderr)

Thank you

Suggestion: include unprintable characters in the error messages
#275

As I said, you can write something else than “Debug messages…”
Hence, the following is also valid:

print(thor_y, file=sys.stderr)
#277

if TX > LX :
    [NO FULL CODE]
    elif TX < LX :
    [NO FULL CODE]
    elif TY > LY:
    [NO FULL CODE]

for 1 2 and 3 the code is ok but the 4 not :frowning:
help :D:D

Is “NW” possible?

#279

I’m stuck. Can somebody help me? I’m not very good at this.

#280

We can help you but you should give hints about your difficulties (but not your full code).

#282

bug??

[EDIT: NO FULL CODE]

it will fail in the case 3&4

it cout SE even in the Thor position = (17,17). Light position = (36,17)

You don’t update Thors position. Inside your loop initialTX and initialTY are always the same.

#284

I’m almost there, but I don’t fully understand the last part of the pesudocode. " Indicate, before the end of the turn, the chosen direction as the concatenation of directionY and directionX."

[EDIT: NO FULL CODE]

I know I’m suppose to determine the direction, here. Can anyone give me hints?

#285

Dear anyone, I would really could use some help.

I’m typing in C++

I’m trying to follow the Pseudo Code as much as possible.

I wish I could post my code here, but everytime I do, it gets edited/removed.

The last part of the pseudo code is “Indicate, before the end of the turn, the chosen direction as the concatenation of directionY and directionX.” which I don’t fully understand.

I know it’s suppose to interlock/work together, with North and South and East and West.

I feel like I’m so close, but just a hair off. Can someone please help me please.

#286

You have to concatenate the two strings and a linebreak, and then use printf to output the result.

#287

In C++ you can aslo output your response like this

cout << dir1 << dir2 << endl;

dir1 and dir2 can be string, char* or char.

#288

how?? can you tell me the logic??

#289

I need help, dont know how to pass ‘Easy and Optimal angle’ ? This is my code in PHP:
[EDIT: NO FULL CODE]

#290

To make it in time Thor has to move diagonally (NE NW SE SW). Your code doesn’t allow that. Also, you have to update Thors position.
