In the code:
from random import choice
class RandomWalk():
"""A class to generate random walks."""
def __init__(self, num_points=5000):
"""Initialize attributes of a walk"""
self.num_points = num_points
# All walks start at (0,0)
self.x_values = [0]
self.y_values = [0]
def fill_walk(self):
"""Calculate all the points in the walk"""
# keep taking steps until the walk reaches the desired length
while len(self.x_values) < self.num_points:
# decide which direction to go and how far to go in that direction
x_direction = choice([1, -1])
x_distance = choice([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
x_step = x_direction * x_distance
y_direction = choice([1, -1])
y_distance = choice([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
y_step = y_direction * y_distance
# Reject moves that go nowhere.
if x_step == 0 and y_step == 0:
continue
# Caluculate the next x and y values
next_x = self.x_values[-1] + x_step
next_y = self.y_values[-1] + y_step
self.x_values.append(next_x)
self.y_values.append(next_y)
I don't understand what the -1
is doing in:
next_x = self.x_values[-1] + x_step
