Python: Why is my `for` loop being skipped?

I have this code:

for i in range(40):
    print("execution:", i, end="    ")
    if player_y - i >= 0:
        if roomMap[player_y - i][player_x] == 1:
            roomMap[player_y - i][player_x] = 3

The variables player_x, player_y and the list roomMap are already defined, but it does nothing and I am unsure what's happening.

There are multiple reasons why your loop would not be running

  • You had a conditional statement (if) surrounding it and the code happened not to run through that branch
  • You maybe had a return statement before getting into that loop and your code terminated

Steps you can take to resolve that:

  • Try to use the debugger and see if the code goes inside this loop
  • You can also use "print()" statements to caveman debug it, maybe use print("I am inside the loop") see if you can print that in the console from inside the loop.
