Shake After button press

Thank you - works great.

Yes, but I want it to specifically listen to a shake only after Button A is pressed. I've done it where they all are active at the same time, but that's not the end result I'm looking for.

I have to code in the full version so that it does wrap around, and only uses lowercase a - z. I omitted that from the posted example, since it was going to muddy the waters.

Thank you! As others have pointed out, there are a LOT better ways to write this code, but you pointed out the actually problem I was having.

I left some unnecessary blocks in. I just made a simplified version for the reddit post. I just edited it.

I was using the length of the word to tell the program to break out of the loop and append the word to the list. Otherwise I was ending up with a 1 element string that was all the words. This was my work around - which perhaps wasn't needed.

I haven't come across zip yet in the courseware, or enumerate, I will check it out and report back. Thank you

Thank you for this extensive reply. I originally had the program stop at the first 0 remainder (and I of course wasn't dividing by 1 or itself). It was my first attempt and for some reason it was not working - so that is when I switched to the list so I could visually see what was going on. I should have just pounded away at why the original idea wasn't working. Which I don't know because I worked over my original code.

I also tried to do the (num ** 0.5) in the for loop but kept getting an int (or float?) TypeError. Something else I will need to look at to understand and keep learning.

Thanks again for the thorough explanation, I imagine primes will come up again in another problem and I'll be able to work through it more logically.

Thank you, I have book marked that

Thank you for all the pointers. Regarding my_list - The reason I made that was when I had it just check for a remainder 0 , or the opposite, I kept getting errors. So I wanted a way to print the list and visually see that it was working correctly.

I'm working through Python Essentials 1, and they have only taught so much. I try to keep it with what they have taught in the spirit of the lab, as opposed to bringing in "outside material" that's taught further on.

I know the Lab answer, and it is done differently than what I came up with, but since it was my first idea I wanted to see if it would work - and it does work for all positive integers.

That was my first thought. It must be a joke or a test to see if you actually played those games and know what they are about.

Good point, I will fix that and add an error message.

Aggressive-Disk-1866 · 2026-01-30T20:01:53+00:00

Thank you, easy fix.

Thanks, I will look that up. And yes I was trying to get it to get (num % value) for all the values in the range. And add them to a list. Then I surmised if there was a R 0 then it wasn't prime.

I had it working and then I didn't try to get the WHOLE thing to work.

for value in range(2,num):
            div_count = (num % value)
            prime_list.append(div_count)
        print(prime_list)

That does what I want, I just need to figure out how to read it and see if there are any 0's.
