i'm having issue 1 of assignments i'm using loop compare 2 lists, 1 being answer key, , other being list of student answers, produce score +4 given correct responses, -1 incorrect, , 0 omitted responses. it's working fine until gets last element of loop. know program "reading" last elements, because i've had print them before, it's not adjusting score correctly, , subtracting point, regardless of answer. can't figure out what's going wrong, since it's last part this.
here relevant part of code:
#as go on each line, add student counter keep track of number of students. #we use split function turn each line of file list can use. line in open_file: students += 1 student_ans = line.split(",") #the score tracker keeps track of total score. score_tracker = 0 #this loop iterates on each value in list, comparing answer key. n in range(number_ans): = answerkey[n] b = student_ans[n+1] #a series of if/elif/else statements give , take points according answers. if == b: score_tracker += 4 elif b == "": score_tracker += 0 else: score_tracker -= 1 print(score_tracker) any appreciated.
between me , professor, we've figured out wrong. turns out last element in each line of file contained "\n" bring new line, , hadn't thought rid of because didn't stop code printing out 2 correct answers, correctly adding score. (the computer saw d , dn\, showed me d , d final answers on answer key.
i suppose lesson in me @ computer sees, not see.
