Hi all,
I was playing with Python tonight and created a simple program that outputs numbers counting up then counting down all on the same terminal line. The code is as follows:
#------------------------------------------------------------
a = 320000 #number to count up to
for i in range (a):
print i, '\r',
for i in range ((a-1),0,-1):
print i, '\r',
#------------------------------------------------------------
It works as desired. However, I was trying to figure out a way to make it more concise but
cannot see a way since the 'range' parameters must be integers (no functions allowed?).
Anyone see a way to simplify it?
Thanks,
Steve
