Functional programming in Python: returning none instead of correct value -

-

i wrote functional code in python , not understand why returns none instead of correct value code generates.

the purpose of script take line.split(',') csv , reassemble values inadvertently split '{value1,value2,value3}' 'value1,value2 ... valuen'.

def reassemble(list_name):     def inner_iter(head, tail):         if head[0][0] == '{':             new_head = [head[0] + ',' + tail[0]]             if tail[0][-1] == '}':                 return [new_head[0][1:-1]], tail[1:]             else:                 inner_iter(new_head, tail[1:])      def outer_iter(corrected_list, head, tail):         if tail == []:             print corrected_list + head             return corrected_list + head         else:             if head[0][0] == '{':                 head, tail = inner_iter(head, tail)                 outer_iter(corrected_list + head, [tail[0]], tail[1:])              else:                 outer_iter(corrected_list + head, [tail[0]], tail[1:])      return outer_iter([], [list_name[0]], list_name[1:])

below test: 

x = ['x','y', '{a', 'b}', 'c'] print reassemble(x)

and odd result:

['x', 'y', 'a,b', 'c'] #from print inside "outer_iter" none                   #from print reassemble(x)

note: want keep code functional exercise.

you forgot return in else clause, @ outer_iter.

in python, function not return specific value, returns none.

[edit]

full source:

def reassemble(list_name):     def inner_iter(head, tail):         if head[0][0] == '{':             new_head = [head[0] + ',' + tail[0]]             if tail[0][-1] == '}':                 return [new_head[0][1:-1]], tail[1:]             else:                 return inner_iter(new_head, tail[1:])                 #before change, control reached here upon return         #control might still reach here, in case 'if' condition not met         #implicitly "return none"      def outer_iter(corrected_list, head, tail):         if tail == []:             print corrected_list + head             return corrected_list + head         else:             if head[0][0] == '{':                 head, tail = inner_iter(head, tail)                 return outer_iter(corrected_list + head, [tail[0]], tail[1:])                 #before change, control reached here upon return             else:                 return outer_iter(corrected_list + head, [tail[0]], tail[1:])                 #before change, control reached here upon return         #before change, control reached here upon return         #implicitly "return none"      return outer_iter([], [list_name[0]], list_name[1:])

test:

x = ['x','y', '{a', 'b}', 'c'] print reassemble(x)

output:

['x', 'y', 'a,b', 'c'] ['x', 'y', 'a,b', 'c']

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2...

i need place custom knob image shadow uislider. far have image of 38x38, of there region defines shadow of knob. now while using image, when slide knob extreme ends actual knob not able cover end points, hence end points visible under transparent region of knob image this code using customize uislider uiimage *slidebtimg = [uiimage imagenamed:sliderknobimg]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatenormal]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatehighlighted]; how can implement custom knob shadow beneath it, covering end points?? look inside uislider.h , there methods let customize slider knob , track needed.
