why it giving me 122 count it should be 28
in the color count

[mtf]

@k3v1n05

why it giving me 122 count it should be 28

How many times does 28 go into 122? There are that many repetitions happening somewhere.

[tera6487265167]

Im having issues with my code as well, repeating each transaction 4 times. I read this thread but couldn’t see the solution to this problem.

EDIT: nevermind, i noticed the indentation issue. but can someone explain why this happens so i have a better understanding of it.
Thanks!

[mtf]

@tera6487265167

can someone explain why this happens

Because the loops are nested. We use one loop (inner) to create a small list, and the other loop (outer) to append those lists to the main list.

[ralph0626]

I have the same problem.

Hello, I came until step 18, where I had to check a bit on the solution.
I first printed out the variable “thread_sold”, and it looked like a simple list.
Then I iterated through it, but didn’t get the desired result.
According to the solution you iterate through it with a nested loop.
Why? In the print output it doesn’t appear like a nested list, but a simple list.
Is it because the content of the list variable “thread_sold” is created in a loop via the append() function iteration through the list variable “transactions_clean” before?

Thanks already for your help.

[mtf]

The purpose of the nested loop is to iterate over the new list that is split out of each string.

'green&white&blue'  =>  ['green', 'white', 'blue']

[tobiasschnellbcher57]

Thanks a lot for your help mtf!

hi
just finished the following got stuck for a good time nested for loop. Took time but got the idea just need practice.

Hello i dont understand why my code keeps duplicating the same transactions over and over can someon help explain why it may be happening. When I print the list transactions_clean, every transaction sublist is duplicated four times I dont know why. Here is my code up to this point:

Outdent line 122 so it is in the outer loop, not the inner loop.

The “\n” represents like a white space. I had it also in mine, but after i removed the white spaces with the strip() method on step 8, they all disappeared

[vladas01]

In that case why it prints just one “\n” if there is more then one white space. A bit confusing.

This is a first index in the list and as you can see there are more white spaces but they are not marked as “\n”.

Hey there,

For clarification, ('\n ') represents the new line character in Python. It literally means,“The line end here.” Whitespace on the other hand is represented by empty space (' ').

To remove whitespace, tabs or new lines from string outputs you can use the strip() method. Does that clear up any confusion?

[vladas01]

Thanks for the answer. From previous lessons I learned that “\n” represents new line there for it’s unclear why it was printed. My question is not how to get rid of it I’m interested to understand why it was printed.

[vladas01]

I understood after replying seraph776.
The text is written in new line that’s why there is “\n” when I print text.
thanks anyway.
