sum, count and len

Posted under » PHP » Python on 14 March 2022

I'm a noob in excel and the only thing I use is the sum function.

In php it may look like this.

if ($result = $dbhandle -> query("SELECT * FROM question")) {
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    $sum += $row['value'];
    }
    echo $sum."
";
}
$dbhandle -> close();

This is the same with python django count.

If you want to just increment, in python, we use += 1

count += 1

In php we use ++ like this example.

For arrays, you can do this in Python

salah = [1,2,1,4,100]

for cat in salah:
    print(sum(salah))

Or you can append to the array and do a len or length of an array, if want to count the value of 1s.

 betul = []
 for cat in x["stage107f"]:
        band = cat["band"]
 	kuching = cat["correctness"]
	if band == 2 and kuching == 1 :
                	betul.append(kuching) 
 print(len(betul))

A basic sum of var in python is like this

total = int(angsa) + int(answer)

If you don't put the int, it is assumed that it is string so you will not get the correct total.
