syntax error - CompleteNewb - Jan-03-2021

Hello,

I'm just starting coding and I had a syntax error that I don't understand. I'm copying from a book and I checked the code in different code checker online. I checked the indentation and I checked on the internet but I can't find an answer.

Here's the code

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm working on Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40)

Keep in mind that I have been coding for only a month

thanks for your time

RE: syntax error - bowlofred - Jan-03-2021

If you don't see any problem on that specific line, look at the code before it. In this case you don't have balanced brackets on the previous line.

RE: syntax error - deanhystad - Jan-03-2021

return board[boxx][boxy^[0], board[boxx][boxy][1]
Missing "]" where indicated.

RE: syntax error - Axel_Erfurt - Jan-03-2021

maybe you forgot a bracket in Line 205?

return board[boxx][boxy][0], board[boxx][boxy][1]

RE: syntax error - CompleteNewb - Jan-04-2021

Thanks! but I have another problem...

IndexError: list index out of range

I went through the code and can't find anything that's wrong???

Can you help again?

RE: syntax error - Axel_Erfurt - Jan-04-2021

Output:return board[boxx][boxy][0], board[boxx][boxy][1]
IndexError: list index out of range

I think the len of board[boxx][boxy] is < 2 or has no values

RE: syntax error - deanhystad - Jan-04-2021

I'm guessing that boxx or boxy are out of range. I would add some print statements to help find the error.

def getShapeAndColor(board, boxx, boxy):
    if boxx >= len(board) or boxy >= len(board[boxx]):
        print(f'getShapeAndColor(board, {boxx}, {boxy})')
        y_dimensions = [len(y) for y in board]
        print(f'board = {len(board)}x{y_dimensions}')
        return DONUT, BLUE
    if len(board[boxx][boxy]) < 2:
        print(f'getShapeAndColor(board, {boxx}, {boxy}) = {board[boxx][boxy]}')
        return DONUT, ORANGE
    return board[boxx][boxy][0], board[boxx][boxy][1]

RE: syntax error - CompleteNewb - Jan-08-2021

I added the code you suggested(which I don't totally comprehend) and I received this error in return:

Error:getShapeAndColor(board, 1, 6)
board = 4x[3, 3, 3, 3]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "memory.py", line 289, in <module>
    main()
  File "memory.py", line 64, in main
    startGameAnimation(mainBoard)
  File "memory.py", line 265, in startGameAnimation
    revealBoxesAnimation(board, boxGroup)
  File "memory.py", line 232, in revealBoxesAnimation
    drawBoxCovers(board, boxesToReveal, coverage)
  File "memory.py", line 223, in drawBoxCovers
    drawIcon(shape, color, box[0], box[1])
  File "memory.py", line 188, in drawIcon
    pygame.draw.circle(DISPLAYSURF, color, (left + half, top+ half), half = 5)
TypeError: function missing required argument 'radius' (pos 4)

Now like I said, I've just been coding for a couple of months. My understanding is pretty basic and I don't know what to do with this new information:

getShapeAndColor(board, 1, 6)
board = 4x[3, 3, 3, 3]

RE: syntax error - deanhystad - Jan-08-2021

It means you have an error in your code.

print(f'getShapeAndColor(board, {boxx}, {boxy})')

is printing out

Output:
getShapeAndColor(board, 1, 6)

which means boxx == 1 and boxy == 6

We also know from this

Output:
board = 4x[3, 3, 3, 3]

That boxx can be in the range 0..3 but boxy can only be in the range 0..2.

Now you get to debug your code and find out where boxy is being set to an invalid index.

I am glad that Python provides a traceback when an exception is thrown, but for me at least the line that throws the exception is not where the error occurred. Most errors occur long before they result in something that causes your program to crash. I have a feeling that this is the case for your error. You'll have to follow the code backward, find where you are setting boxy, and determine how boxy is getting set to an invalid index.
