On Python, range(3) will return [0,1,2]. Is there an equivalent for multidimensional ranges?
range((3,2)) # [(0,0),(0,1),(1,0),(1,1),(2,0),(2,1)]
So, for example, looping though the tiles of a rectangular area on a tile-based game could be written as:
for x,y in range((3,2)):
Note I'm not asking for an implementation. I would like to know if this is a recognized pattern and if there is a built-in function on Python or it's standard/common libraries.
In numpy, it's numpy.ndindex
. Also have a look at numpy.ndenumerate
.
E.g.
import numpy as np
for x, y in np.ndindex((3,2)):
print(x, y)
This yields:
0 0
0 1
1 0
1 1
2 0
2 1
