I'm new to python and I have to change this code to have a 1D array not a 2D array.This code is perfectly working to write data to an excel file. Please help me to change this in to a 1D array.
eg: only to enter as 1D array as below
expenses = [
[1000],
[100],
[300],
[50],
]
import xlsxwriternter
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('20.xlsx')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
expenses = [
['Rent', 1000],
['Gas', 100],
['Food', 300],
['Gym', 50],
]
row = 0
col = 0
for item,cost in (expenses):
worksheet.write(row, col, item)
row += 1
workbook.close()
This question basically comes down to tuple unpacking, the for loop in the original code was basically doing this for each item in
expenses:
item, cost = ['Rent', 1000] #unpacks 'Rent' to item and 1000 to cost
if each element of
expenses consisted of only a single element you would unpack a single element with a trailing comma after the variable (like how you do with a single element tuple)
item, = [1000] #unpacks 1000 to item
so in the for loop it would just be:
for item, in (expenses): # ^ the trailing comma here!
