The problem has been solved. It turned out that I made a newbie mistake that had nothing to do with importing lists. I have a function, sma, which calculates the moving average for a list of prices. I passed the "close" (subsequently changed to "cloze") list to the function as an argument. Ther

Byron, I'm confused (as usual). In "def returnList():" that you write below, should the items in the newList list be close[i] and looped to fill "newList" with the contents of "close"? If so, how is "returnLost" different from "close"

[Tutor] Importing a List from Module

2005-08-27 Thread Tom Strickland
I have a module called "enterData" which generates a list, "close" from a data file. "close" is a list of floats. When I put a print statement in that module it will print out an individual member of the list. For example, print close[0] prints the first member of the list. In my "main"

Alan, Thanks for your comments. I see how I can simplify my code, but I've run into a problem trying to do so. If I replace the "while" loop with a "for" loop as you suggest, the program won't enter the loop unless "s" is initialized so that it's in "input". How do I do that? Also, near the en

I have imported a text file consisting of lines of csv. Each line consists of six items separated by commas. I have converted this file into a matrix of string variables, T[i]. Now I want to extract each of the individual strings, convert five them to floats, and save them in individual vectors
