Stuck in while loop (with conditions) while iterating over 2D Array (Python) [closed]

I am writing a program that simulates simple evolution. The world map is a 20x20 array. Each field can either be a 0 (empty) a 1 (organism at these coordinates) or a 2 (food at these coordinates).

Within a function that calculates reproduction of each organism, there is a while loop that should recalculate the coordinates to place the offspring (the new organism). It checks if the random field that spawns the kid is already occupied, if so, then it choses new random coordinates until it found an empty field on the array (that means an array element that is 0):

for i in range(kids):
                    exec(f"organism{i} = Organism()")
                    x = random.randint(2,17)
                    y = random.randint(2,17)
                    try:
                        while world[x][y] == 1 or world[2][2] == 2:
                            x = random.randint(2,17)
                            y = random.randint(2,17)
                    except:
                        print("CRITICAL ERROR: Could not find coordinates for offspring.")

What happens is that the program gets stuck in exactly that loop forever unless I stop execution in which case I get the except promt (CRITICAL ERROR).

Now I tried around for many hours but I cant fix it. I can definately tell you that the problem is not that there are no empty fields (zeroes) available. The problem occurs randomly, sometimes right at the first iteration of the main loop, sometimes a bit later. But once it happens, the error occurs for ALL iterations of the for i in range(kids) loop, not just for a single one. So it definately acts like there are no empty fields available, even tho there are plenty.

Here an output where the error occurs, with the world map printed out, showing that there are many empty fields (zeroes) to choose from.

What can I try next?

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
