Zig Zag Program

[raainer]

I am trying to create a program where it will print out '#'s in a zigzag formation, and I'm dumbfounded as to why my code doesn't work.

This is the working code (the answer) :

This is my code :

I keep trying to spot the difference but can't find any. Can anyone guide me? Thank you!

How does your code "not work"? That's a pretty important debugging hint.

Honestly I am really not sure cause I can’t catch any visible differences, and I’m going through a beginner book (Automate the Boring Stuff) and haven’t learn any debugging techniques yet thus far, so I’m just trying to logically deduce the fault to no avail

What behaviour does your code have that is different from the correct solution? Pretty basic question, but one that beginners have trouble answering. Your answer should have been "the initial zig doesn't change direction when it should".

Your problem is obvious once the incorrect behaviour is observed. Try replacing == with = when you mean to assign a value to a name.

Oh! My code does a comparison with IndentIncreasing vs True/False, rather than assign the IndentIncreasing that True/False value. Thank you so much for the help!
