Help in deleting the contents of an array at the end of a conversation.

[nhguy03276]

I'm probably just being dense again, but the lack of a Foreach loop in the main program has really gotten stumped.

Essentially, I want to reset my vendors inventory after the conversation is done.

I normally would use something like:

Code: Select all

Foreach item in vendor.items[]:
              vendor.drop[item] 

but of course, it isn't going to be that simple... and I can't seem to get the python to work either... I just need a simple method to call to blank all items in a random length array.

Thanks

You can just do:

Code: Select all

vendor.items = []

But keep in mind this will not delete the objects from memory, just clear the list.

Thank you. That appears to work. It is funny how sometimes your mind gets stuck, and I just didn't see a solution... Also, this is the second programming language in the last 2 months I've encountered without a For each loop... I can't fathom why... For each loops can be so useful at times.

I think maybe you mean this?

Code: Select all

for gummy in gummy_jar:
    if gummy.type == "green":
        kid.eat(gummy)

'gummy_jar' can be any type of iterable: lists, dictionaries, tuples, or even strings.
'gummy' is the item being accessed. So, for each gummy the kid picks in the jar, if the gummy is green, the kid eat it. =)

You can use for loops, but if you just want to reset a list, you don't need one.
If you wanted to apply some action in the content of the iterable, then you would need a for loop.
