I am trying a very basic IF loop in which i am trying to create a new variable like below
for i in range(1,16):
for j in range(i,i+14):
if (j > 13):
{
jdisplay = "j%13"
}
else:
{
jdisplay=j
}
print(i,j)i am not getting this right, i want the number not to exceed 13, if it is greater than 13 a new variable called jdisplay should be created and the value should be modulo division of j with 13.

How many different variables, all named
jdisplay, do you want?
And why are there braces in your code?
oops, sorry , i got this working, this is what happens when i switch from something else to something i started to learn..thanks
for i in range(1,16):
for j in range(i,i+14):
if (j > 13):
jdisplay = j%13
else:
jdisplay=j
print(i,jdisplay)
i think you need to dedent line 8 one level.
Also note that your indentation is not consistent - you have 3, 4 and 1 space indentation.
So that works, right? I'm not a huge fan of hoisting variables to their containing scope, so even though it works, I'd put a default value before the loop. Something like:
jdisplay = None
for i in range(1, 16):
for j in range(i, i+14):
if j > 13:
jdisplay = j % 13
else:
jdisplay = j
print(jdisplay)

Thanks for the inputs, will correct it

Curious to know the difference it would make. Anyways the old one works.
