max() error

[Patrick C]

I've gotten this exact problem before and I was able to once figure it out. Since then i've apparently forgetten more of the basic.

Does anyone have any idea whats going on here, because fdayhigh is not an empty list...

>>> import justCup
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "justCup.py", line 63, in <module>
    CupStartIndex = fdayhigh.index(max(fdayhigh))
ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence
>>>

thanks

Did you try printing fdayhigh before calling max()?

Did you try printing fdayhigh before calling max()?

That's exactly what I would have said.

You may post the relevant section of that module in order for us to be able to help.
