python - How to recursively read all characters in a list? -

-

i need write function recursively read chars in file , append list.the function needs 2 parameters , file , list. recursion stumping me.any tips on thinking recursively appreciate well. bellow code have written print chars of list , without recursion.

def newchar(usrfile,usrlist):      line in usrfile:         c in line:             usrlist.append(c)      print(usrlist)   def main():     usrfile = open("input.txt",'r')     usrlist = []     newchar(usrfile,usrlist)    main()

result :

['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', ' ', 'p', 'r', 'i', 'n', 't', ' ', 'a', 'l', 'l', ' ', 't', 'h', 'e', 's', 'e', ' ', 'c', 'h', 'a', 'r', 'a', 'c', 't', 'e', 'r', 's', '.']

one way think recursion try , solve small piece of problem, , imagine recursive call 'magically' solves rest of problem. importantly, have consider happens when rest of problem trivial solve; called base case.

in case, small piece can solve in 1 recursive call reading single character (byte). base case occurs if there no characters left in file; when happens, append nothing list , return have built up.

this idea can implemented follows.

f = open('test_file.txt', 'r') char_list = []  def read_rec(fh, chars):     curchar = fh.read(1)     if curchar: #returns false @ end of file         chars.append(curchar) #append chars         return read_rec(fh, chars) #recursively read rest of file     return chars  print read_rec(f, char_list)

output

['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', ' ', 'm', 'y', ' ', 'n', 'a', 'm', 'e', ' ', 'i', 's', ' ', 'g', 'a', 'r', 'r', 'e', 't', 't', '\n']

hi project arc based, using uinavigationcontroller make transition between viewcontroller. using profiler analyse happening behind scene memory. noticed when push viewcontroller allocate memory components , when pop not freeing allocated memory. since using arc unable implement dealloc or release component. have analysed in detail , there no memory leak in project. i not using strong property push viewcontroller. here how pushing viewcontroller. viewcontroller *obj = [[viewcontroller alloc] init]; [self.navigationcontroller pushviewcontroller:obj animated:no]; any clue whats going on? should free memory have consumed. please advise your description indicates have retain cycle, leads objects not being deallocated. typical source of retain cycles properties assigned loading nib files (usually declared iboutlet ). two strategies break them , release objects: declare property weak : @property (nonatomic, weak) iboutlet uilabel *statuslabel; set property nil in...
