If loop inside of a while loop

[Afterdarkreader]

I have a problem where, I'm trying to use an if loop inside of a while loop to create an array. Its running infinitely.
Anyone see my problem?

import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(1, 100, num = 100)

def append(start, stop, change):
    s = ([])
    x = 0
    while x <= 10:
        if x < start:
            s = np.append(s, 0)
            x = x + 0.01
        elif start <= x <= stop:
            s = np.append(s, change)
            x = x + 0.01
        elif x > stop:
            s = np.append(s, 0)
            x = 0.01
    return s
s = append(3, 7, 0.01)

In line 17, you reset x to 0.01 because x is above 7 (the value of stop) and your while loop stops when x is greater 10 !

[j.crater]

That would be because when x > stop, you set x to be 0.01, which is less than or equal 10 (your while loop condition).

OH OKAY, that's the problem. I completely missed that typo. Thanks ya'll!

minor quibble: your if conditional is not a loop.

while is conditional and also a loop, if is conditional but it is not a loop-- though its certainly understandable why someone would think of it as one.

while x > 5:
    print(True)
    break

does the same as:

if x > 5:
    print(True)
