Continuing the discussion from Pythonic python – looping over lists:

Have you noticed that this topic is over nine months old? Please keep the dead resting!

Read the FAQ before you post again. You need to learn how to format your code properly. I’ve done it for you this time, but I won’t always be here.

Line 4: self.findNearest( golds )? There isn’t a variable named golds.

@jdhall_1271

    # Collect gold.
    coin = self.findItems()
    gold = self.findNearest( golds )
    self.moveXY( gold.pos.x , gold.pos.y)
    # If you have enough gold, summon a soldier.
    if self.gold > self.costOf("soldier"):
        self.summon("soldier")
    # Use a for-loop to command each soldier.
    # For loops have two parts: "for X in Y"
    # Y is the array to loop over.
    # The loop will run once for each item in Y, with X set to the current item.
    for friend in self.findFriends():
        if friend.type == "soldier":
            enemy = friend.findNearestEnemy()
            # If there's an enemy, command her to attack.
            if enemy:
                self.command( friend, "attack", enemy )
            # Otherwise, move her to the right side of the map.
            else:
                pos = {'x':82, 'y':33}
                self.command( friend, "move", pos )```

(this is my code)
what variable should i use then???
kind regards,

How on earth do people still manage to use block quotes? sigh. Place your code between triple backticks (`), in order for it to format properly.

What do you mean, what variable should you use? You’re looking for coins, right? And coins are items, yes? Therefore, what variable do you use in gold = self.findNearest( x ), where x is the variable?

Hint: Read only if you're stuck

You’ve already defined the variable in question.

What is the problem?

In the middle of the screen are the methods. Click on the one next to your boots called, move(targetPos) and the example will show you exactly what is wrong with line 21. Just be aware that the example shows the usage as an argument, so the parenthesis are not going to work in your code.
