[SOLVED]Zoo Keeper Python Help with For loop

Level Help
1

I have been trying to get through zoo keeper, but I don’t really get the for loop.Please help.
Here is my code.

# Protect the cage.
# Put a soldier at each X.
points = []
points[0] = {"x": 33, "y": 42}
points[1] = {"x": 47, "y": 42}
points[2] = {"x": 33, "y": 26}
points[3] = {"x": 47, "y": 26}

# 1. Collect 80 gold.
items = hero.findItems()
for item in items:
    hero.move(item.pos)
# 2. Build 4 soldiers.
for i in range(4):
    hero.summon("soldier")
    
# 3. Send your soldiers into position.
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    for j in range(len(friends)):
        point = points[j]
        friend = friends[j]
        enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
        if enemy and enemy.team == "ogres" and friend.distanceTo(enemy) < 5:
            # Command friend to attack.
            hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
            
            
        else:
            # Command friend to move to point.
            hero.command(friend, "move", points)

Instead of points put point.

Delete this part of the code.
Does it work now?

Not really, my hero just tries to go to all the items at once, so I think there is a problem with the

while hero.gold < 80: # you're collecting coins non stop, just do this
    hero.move(hero.findNearest(hero.findItems()).pos)
# A for loop is basically a simpler way to write a while loop:
for x in y:
    hero.say(x) # hero will say starting from 0 all the way to infinity

Ok thanks, it works now.

In some ways, it is. But please don’t tell everyone to use it. There are some things a while loop can do which a for loop can’t.
For loops are good for looping a specified amount of times, like

for i in range(0, len(array)):
    print(i)

While loops are good for looping for an unspecified amount of time:

input alarmCheck
while alarmCheck == False:
    print("All going well!")
print("SOUND THE ALARM!!!")

A for loops can’t do the second example.
