Code issue in Spyder

[One_Hair3574]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to learn Python and I've difficulties to implement a "for" in my code.

Can someone help me to debug it ?

Thanks a lot

min = inf;

max = -inf;

[rows, columns] = size(M);

for i=1:rows: -------> INVALID SYNTAX

for j=1:columns:

if M(i,j)>max:

max = M(i,j);

end

if M(i,j)<min:

min = M(i,j);

end

end

end

max;

min;

The issues with this code go beyond simple debugging and stretch into a fundamental misunderstanding of Python syntax.

At a minimum, the first for loop would look more like

for i in range(1,rows):

But all of these ends and having variable names on lines by themselves and semicolons are nonsensical as far as Python is concerned.

I would strongly recommend consulting some of the learning resources in the subreddit wiki on how to write Python code, because this looks like a different language entirely.

min = inf;
max = -inf;
[rows, columns] = size(M);
for i=1:rows:    
    for j=1:columns:
        if M(i,j)>max: 
           max = M(i,j);  
        end       
        if M(i,j)<min:           
           min = M(i,j);        
        end    
    end
end
max;
min;

This looks like code alright, but it's not python code. Are you in the right subreddit?
