correct this code please

Question

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

def create_gradient_background(width, height, color1, color2):
# Create a new image with RGB mode
image = Image.new("RGB", (width, height))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)

# Create gradient
for y in range(height):
# Calculate the intermediate color
ratio = y / height
r = int(color1[0] * (1 • ratio) + color2[0] * ratio)
g = int(color1[1] * (1 • ratio) + color2[1] * ratio)
b = int(color1[2] * (1 • ratio) + color2[2] * ratio)

# Draw a horizontal line with the gradient color
draw.line([(0, y), (width, y)], fill=(r, g, b))

# Save the image
image.save("gradient_background.png")

# Define image dimensions and colors
width = 800
height = 600
color1 = (255, 0, 0) # Red
color2 = (0, 0, 255) # Blue

# Create the gradient background
create_gradient_background(width, height, color1, color2)

Answer 1

as I see the code, this is python, not javascript

Answer 2

It's Python. You should change your tag.
You have illegal character in your code
it's not
1 • ratio
it's
1 - ratio

Jerry Hobby replacing • with * will make the code work, but the colors will be wrong.
This is also what I tried at first, but the gradient was not red to blue as expected.

Answer 3

ChatGPT "Mini 4-o loves to give that dots. It's not just producing crappy data it also does things like this where you think: "...what?!?"

So, yes replace them - then it'll run in most IDE's, Web Services, Sandboxes, etc.

But that's the only thing I'm sure about that code...

Answer 4

What is the • in the ( 1 • ratio ) ... it seems to be giving an error 😕

As Mihaly Nyilas mentioned this is definitely not javascript but even using brython or regular python this isn't working 🤔

Answer 5

That DOT in the (1 * ratio) should be an * not the dot. Fix that three times and it works.

Answer 6

Konan can this be a formatting problem/bug at the chatgpt UI 🤔

Because '-' in the raw generated text is converted into '•' for formatting. It can be happened specially when the code is written outside the "```" formatting characters.

Or maybe somehow in other way the '-' turned into '•'.

Answer 7

That's an interesting thesis, Dr. Shihan, let's get into it!

Answer 8

Thanks for the doctorate, Dr. Konan! 🤣

Answer 9

My pleasure, Dr. Shihan 🤝
