I want to loop through a list of words in different set sizes, and the order of the set size is specified in another list. I want to jump to the new word in the word list after each trial set.
For example, I have
stimuli_words = ["tree","bird","cake","ocean","dance","statistics","headphone", "red","duck"]
and I have set_size = [2, 4, 3]
I use chosen_size = +1
to loop through the set_size list. I want the first trial to show "tree","bird", second trial to show "cake","ocean","dance","statistics", and third trial to show "headphone", "red","duck", how should I do this?
I think a helper function would be appropriate:
def chunks_with_sizes(li, sizes):
i = 0
for sz in sizes:
yield li[i:i+sz]
i += sz
Then:
>>> list(chunks_with_sizes(stimuli_words, set_size))
[['tree', 'bird'], ['cake', 'ocean', 'dance', 'statistics'], ['headphone', 'red', 'duck']]
