While following an online course about Python, we were encouraged to write a certain program ourselves. This was not for a mark, but only for practice. I don't want help solving the problem, but I need help as to why my code isn't doing what I thought it would be doing.
The (relevant) part of code is the following:
raw_restaurants = file.readlines()
print(raw_restaurants)
restaurants = []
information = []
for i in raw_restaurants:
if len(information) < 5:
information.append(i.strip())
if len(information) == 5:
restaurants.append(information)
information = []
And this is the list used. The original list is one created with file.readlines().
['Georgie Porgie\n', '87%\n', '$$$\n', 'Canadian,Pub Food\n', '\n',
'Queen St. Cafe\n', '82%\n', '$\n', 'Malaysian,Thai\n', '\n',
'Dumplings R Us\n', '71%\n', '$\n', 'Chinese\n', '\n',
'Mexican Grill\n', '85%\n', '$$\n', 'Mexican\n', '\n',
'Deep Fried Everything\n', '52%\n', '$\n', 'Pub Food\n']
The problem is that my function gives as output:
[['Georgie Porgie', '87%', '$$$', 'Canadian,Pub Food', ''],
['Queen St. Cafe', '82%', '$', 'Malaysian,Thai', ''],
['Dumplings R Us', '71%', '$', 'Chinese', ''],
['Mexican Grill', '85%', '$$', 'Mexican', '']]
Which means that the whole part about Deep Fried Everything has disseapeared. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?
