Nest list doesn't become integer (Python)

Question

A = []
B = []
C = []
D = []
E = []
F = []

data = [A, B, C, D, E, F]

bus = ['bus A', 'bus B', 'bus C', 'bus D', 'bus E', 'bus F']
dataType = input('Do you want to use the default data (d) or enter your own? (o)')
if dataType == 'o':
for i in range(6):
print('Please enter the punctuality of ' + bus[i] + ' and separate them with a space')
punctuality = input(int())
punctuality = punctuality.split(' ')
data[i].append(punctuality)
print(data)

Hi so im having an issue with this and im really confused as to why the output for print data comes out as a string something like this [['2'], ['2 2 2 2 2'], ['2 2 2 2 2'], ['2 2 2 2 2'], ['2 2 2 2 2'], ['2 2 2 2 2 2']] even though i specifically set the input to integer. This causes problems further down:

for i in range(6):
for j in data[i]:
if j < 0:
lateData[i].append(j)
print('The number of late arrivals for ' + bus[i] + ' is', len(lateData[i])
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

try this 👇👇

if int(j)<0:

Answer 2

Thanks for the reply, @Sangeetha, but this is the error i got: TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'list'

Answer 3

Fellaman

y can't you post over all clear code
it helps me detach the error

Answer 4

@Sangeetha, ok here is my entire code:
#input validations
import numpy

A = []
B = []
C = []
D = []
E = []
F = []

data = [A, B, C, D, E, F]

bus = ['bus A', 'bus B', 'bus C', 'bus D', 'bus E', 'bus F']
dataType = input('Do you want to use the default data (d) or enter your own? (o)')
if dataType == 'o':
for i in range(6):
print('Please enter the punctuality of ' + bus[i] + ' and separate them with a space')
punctuality = [int(i) for i in (input()).split(' ')]
data[i].append(punctuality)

elif dataType == 'd':
A = [0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 4, 0, 3, 4, -2, -5, 0, 0, 3, 4, -1, 8, 1, 1, -2]
B = [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]
C = [2, 0, -1, -1, -2, -2, -3, -1, 0, 0, -2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 2, -2]
D = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
E = [-1, -1, -1, -2, -4, -10, -2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, -3, 1, 1, 3, -1, 0, 0]
F = [0, -5, -5, -5, -4, -3, -5, 0, 0, 0, 0, -2, -3, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, -2, -5]
data = [A, B, C, D, E, F]

lateA = []
lateB = []
lateC = []
lateD = []
lateE = []
lateF = []
lateData = [lateA, lateB, lateC, lateD, lateE, lateF]

for i in range(6):
for j in data[i]:
if int(j) < 0:
lateData[i].append(j)
print('The number of late arrivals for ' + bus[i] + ' is', len(lateData[i]))

for i in range(6):
if numpy.mean(data[i]) < 0:
print('The average number of minutes late for ' + bus[i] + ' is', str(numpy.mean(data[i])).replace('-', ''))

mostLate = len(lateData[0]), len(lateData[1]), len(lateData[2]), len(lateData[3]), len(lateData[4]), len(lateData[5])

latestBus = []
for i in range(6):
if mostLate[i] == sorted(mostLate)[-1]:
latestBus.append(i)
i = 0
while i < len(latestBus):
print('The bus with the most number of days late was', bus[latestBus[i]])
i = i + 1

for i in range(6):
if len(lateData[i]) == 0:
print('The average number of minutes late for', bus[i], "is 0")
else:
