Python: Need help converting an infinite if-else chain into a

What are you actually trying to do?

This is not Python, this is BASIC written in Python.

Plus your comments just repeat what the code is saying.

Oh didn't realise, I'm a beginner. Trying to figure out how to turn this infinite piece of code into a for loop, part of a project relating to tracing the paths of laser rays

Okay, there's so many WTFs here I don't really know where to begin, but:

- why is the array two-dimensional?
- why are you using strings to represent integers?
- why are you using an array of strintegers when in python arrays can contain functions?
- Why are the strintegers called ONE, TWO, etc. when they're cleary referencing functions that actually do something?
- how are you using lambda calculus when you don't know the above?


I'll stop there.

If I had to de-WTF that code, first thing I'd do is turn the strintegers into functions. Then I'd have a good long think about what the control flow is actually supposed to be doing, because at the moment it looks like something from the obfuscated C contest.

Maybe go have a read up on functional programming in Python, because it looks like that's what you're trying to do, but you're using a for loop instead of applying a function to an iterator and letting the runtime parallelise everything for you.
