And object to list when it’s created.
-
I’ve been haven’t trouble adding the patient to a list when the object is created.
master_patient_list = [] current_patient_list = [] iso_patient_list = [] def count_patients(list): return len(list) class Patient (object): def __init__(self, name=None, age=None, room_number=None, assigned_doctor=None, assigned_nurse=None, illness=None, iso_status=None, patient_record_nunber=None,patient_medications=[]): self.name = name self.age = age self.room_number = room_number self.assigned_doctor = assigned_doctor self.assigned_nurse = assigned_nurse self.illness = illness self.iso_status = iso_status self.patient_reord_number = patient_record_nunber self.patient_medications = list(patient_medications) self.add_patient() def add_patient(self): if self.name not in master_patient_list and current_patient_list: master_patient_list.append(self.name) current_patient_list.append(self.name) def remove_patient(): pass def move_patient(self, new_room): self.room_number = new_room def add_med(self, med): if med not in self.patient_medications: self.patient_medications.append(med) def remove_med(self, med): if med in self.patient_medications: self.patient_medications.remove(med) def __str__(self): return f'Room: {self.room_number} \nName: {self.name} \nPhysician: {self.assigned_doctor} \nNurse: {self.assigned_nurse} \nIllness: {self.illness} \nIso status: {self.iso_status} \nPRN: {self.patient_reord_number} \nMedication: {self.patient_medications}' #patient info patient1 = Patient() patient1.name = 'Sally' patient1.age = 35 patient1.room_number = 430 patient1.assigned_doctor = 'Dr. Seuss' patient1.assigned_nurse = 'Jessica' patient1.illness = 'Broken Leg' patient1.iso_status = 'NONE' patient1.patient_reord_number = 'AD123456789' patient1.add_med('norco') #test code print(patient1) print(f'Master list: {master_patient_list}') print(f'Current list: {current_patient_list}') count_patients(current_patient_list)

- This will never be true in your code:
if self.name not in master_patient_list and current_patient_list:
becausecurrent_patient_list
is always empty, which means False in Python, and thus never added to, and thus stays empty. - You should not store the patient’s name in the list (several patients can have the same name). Just store the patient object itself.

@mikael thanks for the feedback. I always appreciate it. I see now how checking the list the way I am isn’t going to work. The master list will have every patient who’s ever been at the hospital and the current list will only have current patients. That along with how I was storing them by name. With all this in mind I will try to figure something else out and let you know how it goes. Thanks
