So the issue is that towards the end, the squares.remove line is working but above that, the squares.pop(i) isn't working. As you can see in the output, the tuples with -1 or 0 are still there.
Now I have tried this with the remove function as well. But nothing seems to be working.
Also, I have checked the if condition and that seems to be working.
Furthermore to check whether the of statement actually wa running or not, I had added a print("running") statement inside the if block above the pop statement, and the "running" was being printed.
Any help is greatly appreciated because I am completely baffled.
Code:
import itertools
def chessKnight(cell):
cell = list(cell)
cell[0] = ord(cell[0]) - 96
cell[1] = int(cell[1])
squares = list(itertools.product(range(cell[0]-2, cell[0]+3),range(cell[1]-2, cell[1]+3)))
for i,square in enumerate(squares):
if square[0] in [0, -1] or square[1] in [0, -1]:
squares.pop(i)
if list(square) == cell:
squares.remove(square)
print(squares)
chessKnight("a1")
Output:
[(-1, 0), (-1, 2), (0, -1), (0, 1), (0, 3), (1, 0), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 0), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)]
