Displaying different images with raspberry in Python using PIR sensor

sorry in advance for any dumb mistakes, I'm a very beginner programmer and am trying to help my friend with his project (he doesn't know how to code).

We are trying to make the program display one picture or the other, depending on the reading on the PIR sensor. If the reading is LOW, image A is shown. If the reading is HIGH, image B is shown. For this, we are using the pygame library and the display function.

The issue is: we cannot make the program alternate between pictures.

At first we were using the PIL library, but we found that it lacked a way to close the image windows in a simple manner, and the program kept creating new windows everytime the sensor did a reading.

So we opted for the pygame, as it has an option to exit the display function. At our first attempt, the program would only read the first if, that is, the LOW input. So I modified it as a way to try and make that every time the sensor changed readings (from LOW to HIGH and vice versa) it would first close the display function and immediately open again. What actually happened was that the images kept flashing on the screen because it kept closing and opening.

What we want is that when the sensor reads the input, the desired image is shown and stays on the screen (fullscreen) with a single window, and if the sensor detects a different input, that previews image is closed and the other one is open.

Below is the code [note that my friend initially used a simple PIR sensor + LED code he found online and we adapted it to rather than light the LED, show the pictures]

import pygame

import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(16, GPIO.IN)        
pygame.init()
while True:
  i=GPIO.input(16)

   if i==0
    pygame.display.quit()
    pygame.display.init()
    img1 = pygame.image.load('image1.jpg')

    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((0,0))

    screen.blit(img1, (0, 0))

    pygame.display.flip()

    pygame.event.clear()

   if i==1
    pygame.display.quit()
    pygame.display.init()
    img2 = pygame.image.load('image2.jpg')

    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((0,0))

    screen.blit(img2, (0, 0))

    pygame.display.flip()

    pygame.event.clear()

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
