I have a class function that updates class instance parameters when a specific condition is met. It looks something like this:
def step_k(self):
if probability > self.epsilon:
self.k_dps = np.append(self.k_dps, new_dps)
self.k += 1
self.update_pdf()
It is meant to be used in a loop up until the point where the condition is no longer fulfilled. I tried using ‘break’ in the hopes it would also work when executed in a function
def step_k(self):
if probability > self.epsilon:
self.k_dps = np.append(self.k_dps, new_dps)
self.k += 1
self.update_pdf()
else:
break
but it doesn’t. probability is calculated in the class so I can’t just pull the condition out. Is there another way to do this?
>Solution :
No, break is only allowed syntactically in the loop itself. Your function has to return a value which the caller can use to determine whether to execute a break statement or not.
