my python code doesn't get executed. No error, no process finished text just blank. Other codes works fine

Question

list1 = ["5", "-", "2", "+", "1"]
int_list = []
while len(list1) > 0:
    if len(int_list) < 1:
        int_list.append(int(list1[0]))
        list1.pop(0)
    int_list.append(0)
    int_list.append(int(list1[1]))
    int_list.pop(0)
    int_list.pop(0)
print(int_list)

I’m trying to make calculator. But this code doesn’t execute. Like no errors no texts just blank. Anyone knows why this happening?

Answer 1

The condition len(list1) > 0 will always be True cause you are not removing any item from list1.

To do this you need to replace

list1.pop(0) -> del list1[0] and

int_list.pop(0) -> del int_list[0]

You have to use del to remove the item at a specific index

Answer 2

There are some errors (just mentioned in earlier post), so I would not repeat.

It seems that you are starting to implement some stack data structure to do some math evaluation. Great! Here is some suggestions and code snippet for you to start.

First, try to use meaningful but succinct variable names. Secondly, write some pseudo code in paper and flowchart, then finally implement it. The chance of success at first time is much much better..

L = ["5", "-", "2", "+", "1"]
eval_lst = list()

for i, x in enumerate(L):
    try:
        eval_lst.append(int(x))
        
    except ValueError:
        eval_lst.append(x)
