Code that I currently have, is as it appears not to be using the variable i initizied inside a if statement. I got the idea to do the code this way from a much older wiser programer. I am unsure why I am getting this error, is in some way my syntax off or is there something I am missing?
Below is segment of the code in question and the out put below that. As well after that, is the entire code for context. For the entire code, the code in question is down at the bottom in the processScores method. Thank you
def processScores( file, Score):
#opens file using with method, reads each line with a for loop. If content in line
#agrees with parameters in if statements, executes code in if statment. Otherwise, ignores line
with open(file,'r') as f:
for line in f: #starts for loop for all if statements
if line[0].isdigit:
start = int(line[0])
Score.initialScore(start) #checks if first line is a number if it is adds it to intial score
and now the output explaining the error
processScores('theText.txt',Score)
Traceback (most recent call last):
