Python passed values from a list not adding correctly -


in code below having issues 2 things. 1 math in function on lines 40 (exampoints) , 47 (hwkpoints) being passed range of values in list on line 94. should taking scores , adding them reason isn't adding last number on each range passed.

ex: myvalues[11:13] being passed numbers 75, 95, , 97 adds first 2 , not last.

my code here:

from time import asctime time import localtime  def findgrade(mygrade): #argument number in range of 1 - 100 or float mynum?     if mygrade >= 90:         lettergrade = "a"     if mygrade >= 80:         lettergrade = "b"     if mygrade >= 70:         lettergrade = "c"     if mygrade >= 60:         lettergrade = "d"     if mygrade < 60:         lettergrade = "f"     return lettergrade  def calculatepointsearned(hwkgrades, examgrades):     hwktotal = float(hwkpoints(hwkgrades))     #print hwktotal     examtotal = float(exampoints(examgrades))     #print examtotal     myaverage = (hwktotal + examtotal) / possiblepoints     myaverage = myaverage * 100.0     #myaverage = int(myaverage)     return myaverage  def totalpoints(hwkgrades, examgrades):     hwktotal = int(hwkpoints(hwkgrades))     examtotal = int(exampoints(examgrades))     allpoints = str((hwktotal + examtotal))     return allpoints   #create newtimeline using day of week, space, month, space, day, space, year, space time asctime function def timemessage():     localtime()     newtimeline = asctime()     return newtimeline  def exampoints(examvalues):     mygrades = 0     grade in examvalues:         mygrades = int(grade) + mygrades     #print str(mygrades) + " exam\n"      return mygrades  def hwkpoints(hwkvalues):     mygrades = 0     grade in hwkvalues:         mygrades = int(grade) + mygrades     #print str(mygrades) + " hwk"      return mygrades  def requestmessage (myvalues, mytime):     nameline = myvalues[1] + ", " + myvalues[2] + "\t" + myvalues[0] + "\t" + myvalues[3]     examscore = "exam " + "- " + myvalues[11] + ", " + myvalues[12] + ", " + myvalues[13]     hwkscore = "homework " + "- " + myvalues[4] + ", " + myvalues[5] + ", " + myvalues[6] + ", " + myvalues[7] + ", " + myvalues[8]  + ", " + myvalues[9] + ", " + myvalues[10]     pointsearned = "total points earned " + "- " + totalpoints(myvalues[4:10], myvalues[11:13])     mygrade = "grade:  " + str(theaverage) + " " + findgrade(theaverage)     message = nameline + "\n" + examscore + "\n" + hwkscore + "\n" + pointsearned + "\n" + mygrade + "\n" + mytime     return message  def fileoutput(studentid, lastname, firstname, datetime):     myline = studentid + " " + lastname + ", " + firstname + " " + datetime + "\n"     return myline   #create input stream grades.dat , assign infile infile = open('grades.dat', "r")  #create output stream results.dat , assign outfile outfile = open('results.dat', 'w+')  mytime = timemessage() theaverage = 0 thelettergrade = "" themessage = "" possiblepoints = 550 therequest = ""  studentid = raw_input("please input student id: ") myline = "notemptystring"  while myline != "": #may wrong myline not equal empty string?     myline = infile.readline() #may wrong read line infile , assign myline     myline = myline.strip('\r\n')      myvalues = myline.split(",") #separate values in myline , assign myvalues      if studentid == myvalues[0]:         #print myvalues          #call calculatepointsearned function list of homework values , list of exam values , assign theaverage         theaverage = calculatepointsearned(myvalues[4:10], myvalues[11:13])         #print theaverage          thelettergrade = findgrade(theaverage) #call findgrade function theaverage , assign thelettergrade)         #print thelettergrade          #call fileoutput function studentid, lastname, firstname, , datetime message writing output file, , assign therequest         therequest = fileoutput(myvalues[0], myvalues[1], myvalues[2], timemessage())         #print therequest          themessage = requestmessage(myvalues, timemessage()) #call requestmessage myline , mytime message display, , assign themessage          #write therequest outfile         outfile.write(therequest)          print themessage      else: #is studentid not equal first element in myvalues         "do nothing"   #close infile , outfile infile.close() outfile.close()

edit: sorry link having problems getting code right on here.

for myvalues[11:13] being passed numbers 75, 95, , 97 adds first 2 , not last

myvalues[11:13] selects 2 elements, not three. end index (13) not included in range.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
