That might have worked if done properly, but I couldn't do it.

I passed the course today so thank you again, I'll mark this thread solved.

Hooray! I figured out the rest. God bless you guys, you are lifesavers.

If you're interested I changed Competitions().method() to self.method() and put self.old_leader=0 in between the shootings....

As I thought woooee meant:).

It's in the first post but here it is again:
Bob/25/0/0/0
Bill/23/0/0/0
Billy Bob/32/0/0/0

Not sure, but I think self.old_leader is used in methods to get class variables? So you are implying I should add 'self.' to all the 'old_leader's (and 'leader's)?

In that case I did that, and it...

You were probably right, I got that working now. Thank you so much for helping.

Now the first problem seem to almost repeat itself.

I'm all for easy :). I'm probably missing something, but I can't see what. This is what I did so far:

#modules
import random, time, sys

class Competitions(object):

def __init__(self):

Thank you for replying! Just some questions.
Do I take every function and make it a method in the Competitions class? Even main()? Because that's what I've done now and the executer says "unbound...

I tried removing the global variable 'old_leader' and putting it as a parameter in every function that it involves but then it kept returning the value 0... Do you think something like that is the...

Hi!

I've made a small program for an assignment and it works as it should. There's just one problem; the code contains two global variables. I won't pass the course unless I get rid of them and...

Awesome, thank you Chris!

Greetings. I'm a python noob and I'm stuck with some coding.

Say you have a list with a number of elements, some of which are the same. For instance:
mylist = ['blue', 'red', 'green', 'green',...
