I work in a function that should look for the element with the highest value in a vector, but I get an error when compiling, the code is the following:
def getVPPXSenialXMovXFilaMaximosMinimos(self, mov_canal, fila):
line = [self.file.getVectorPorFilaPorSenial(mov_canal, fila)]
i = 0
while i < len(line):
if line[i] >= line[i+1]:
maxi = line[i]
else:
i += 1
return maxi
The error always gives me on the fifth line.
The problem is the line[i+1] when i gets to be the size of the list the +1 causes it to get out of the range of the list, be careful with what you have in the else because your function can fall into a loop infinite, you always have to add to one independently whether it fulfills the condition or not.
I suggest two possible solutions:
maxi = 0
for d in line:
if int(d) > maxi:
maxi = int(d)
return maxi
The other and shorter option is
line = [ int(d) for d in line]
maxi = max(line)
return maxi
I'm assuming that you have a string of numbers online, if you have to compare characters you just have to remove the int of the code
