I have now a problem with range() online.
Notice that I already have this in code_js in my first routine.
// we use range() in python so make equivalent in JS
function range(size, startAt = 0) {
return [...Array(size).keys()].map(i => i + startAt);
}
It works fine when I put only one parameter like: list(range(18)), but fails to work when I have two.
In my experiment I use range() to decide the range of rows to select. In the offline version, I give range() a start and an end number and works perfectly:
I noticed that different from range() in python, this JS range() needs “size” and “startAt”, so I modified the above code to:
# modify range() accordingly
# define row start, and blockSequenceLength is the needed range size
study_row_start = study_row_number * blockSequenceLength
study_row_selected = list(range(blockSequenceLength, study_row_start))
I tested this on Start learning JavaScript with our free real time tutorial and can get what I want without a problem. However, with this, when I ran it online it still showed “range is not defined” when reached this part (I checked in the developer tool it worked fine for range(18) as I said); when I ran locally, it failed to select rows but would just loop through a whole list of stimuli.
PsychoJS does not matter off-line. Off-line only the python-part is of relevance. Am I correct in assuming that there are two errors?
Error 1: range is not defined when you try to define the second set of to be selected rows and run the experiment off-line?
Error 2: when run locally it does not select the intended rows?
Well, as said above Error 1 and Error 2 might be unrelated because different code is used off-line and on-line. You also might define the range-command wrong when selecting rows for the second time. Do mind to show us the relevant components and code-elements? It might be good to address one problem after the other.
Hi wake, should I put this “$str(study_row_start-1)+”:“+str(study_row_end)” directly in selected rows in the GUI, or should I assign it to a variable (say “rows”) and put “$rows” there?
Personally I find we cannot do “$row_start:row_end” in GUI but could do:
rows = [row_start, row_end], and then assign $rows.
Ok I tried: study_row_selected = str(study_row_start)+":"+str(study_row_end+1)
Then this variable works perfectly selecting rows offline and solved the range() issue online for now. Thanks so much as always!
Hi Jens–thanks for your quick reply. My EXP flow and code is rather complicated so I won’t waste your time here. I used the way wake suggested above to select rows now it works perfectly. My guess is it is still the way I use range() online is incorrect–how to use range when I don’t want to start with 0, say I need [4, 5, 6, 7]. Thanks anyway!
