This is fun for something quick and dirty, but you'll save your sanity if you just make an "Item" class.

[PBalint]

congratulations, you found a use case for classes

[sagetarus]

You could also just store the values in a dict. Key=item_name and value=list(attr)

[ewerybody]

Most useful I'd think is directly looping over zipped iterables. In this case that could be:
for i, r, w in zip(items, rarity, weight):
...

[twopolaar]

why not use classes for this? I think that would be more efficient.

Sees problem:
Happy dict noises! :D

Sees solution:
Sad compiler noises! :(

Coming from node I love python. It’s got so many nifty things makes working with data so much easier

[kiddora]

Not only a like, u got a new subscriber. This' really helpful. Thank you 👍

Thanks for the beautiful content.
I appreciate it 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Bro how the hell did yt know I needed this info? You're a lifesaver, dude. Tysm!!

[johns]

You really should use a class here for the items and maybe even the player. Cleaner more understandable code

[jratnerd]

zip works great, but I've learned my lesson, just make a class containing each item and a list of each object item.

As a c++ dev, I find python scary. Simple and useful, yes. But I am so used to being in control of every single operation that it is scary to see sometimes like that.

[GOTHICforLIFE]

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class Item:
item_name: str
item_rarity: int
item_weight: float

mystic_sword = Item('Mystic Sword', 99, 1.30)
wooden_shield = Item('Wooden Shield', 56, 1.10)
rock = Item('Rock', 8, 0.01)

inventory = [mystic_sword, wooden_shield, rock]



Done like this you can easily handle the inventory much better instead of zipping it, as you can easily iterate through specific parts of the item. Let's say you wanna view the item rarities by themselves. Simply do this:

for item in inventory:
print(item.item_rarity)

Or a multi dictionary.
Its values are a list of objects or data.

Thank you 🙏 I have it make a card game in python and each card has its suit, number, and point value (it’s crazy 8s) and this will be useful

[Logan]

Why would you ever make 3 lists like this for related items

[fabiozfortnite]

Just wondering, wouldn't a dictionary be much better? (Or is this just to showcase if there is some rare exception and you can't use dicts and you could use this?)

[nickcampbell]

Sometimes I feel like it would be faster to list all the things an asterisk doesn't do.

[Patrick-vvig]

If you do this, you should read about OOP.
