Hello all,
On my continuing quest to grapple with OO programming Kent showed
me that I could call instances and store them in a list like:
yeasts =
[Yeast("Red_1","Red","ade","lys"),Yeast("Yellow_1","Yellow","lys","ade"),
Yeast("Red_2","Red","ade","lys"),Yeast("Yellow_2","Yellow","lys","ade")]
Give certain conditions I want the yeast cell to die. Kent suggested I
use something this:
yeasts = [yeast for yeast in yeasts if yeast.isAlive()] to clear out
dead yeast.
Is the translation for the above line of code into pseudocode?
yeast for every yeast in the list yeasts if the yeast method returned isAlive()
Or is this meant to be a true or false return? I have included the
code below. Thank you again.
Ara
