## Cannot assign to function call when looping through and converting excel files [closed]

With this code:

`` xls = pd.ExcelFile('test.xlsx') sn = xls.sheet_names for i,snlist in list(zip(range(1,13),sn)):     'df{}'.format(str(i)) =  pd.read_excel('test.xlsx',sheet_name=snlist, skiprows=range(6))  ``

I get this error:

‘df{}’.format(str(i)) = pd.read_excel(‘test.xlsx’,sheet_name=snlist, skiprows=range(6)) ^ SyntaxError: cannot assign to function call

df+str(i) also return error

i want to make result as: df1 = pd.read_excel.. list1… df2 = pd.read_excel… list2….

## Assign function to a variable and solve it symbolically

I have a function such as y = sin(x) + c. I’d like to solve it symbolically for c (but first assign the function to a variable, so I don’t have to enter it multiple times in case I want to solve it for x as well. Any suggestions how I can do this?

I’ve tried this:

``fn[x_, c_] := Sin[x] + c Solve[fn, c] ``

but getting an error ‘fn is not a quantified system of equations’.

Any help is appreciated.

## Assign a color to VectorPlot

I want to set all the lines in a VectorPlot a specific color, like Red. I am using some of the new options for VectorPlot as my code below illustrates. Using VectorColorFunction -> Red does not solve my problem.

Thank you for your assistance.

``VectorPlot[{1, t - x}, {t, -2, 2}, {x, -2, 2}, VectorPoints -> 17,  VectorScaling -> Automatic, VectorSizes -> 1.2,  VectorStyle -> Arrowheads[0], VectorColorFunction -> Red] ``

## Assign multiple taxonomies to one post

I have created CPT called "Pharmacy" which have a lot of pharmacies inside (approx 10.000)

Pharmacies offer 2 different services (skin & scalp) and some provide both services but some provide only one.

What I am trying to add is skin & scalp as taxonomies that can be assigned to each pharmacy depending what they offer.

So let’s say that pharmacy_one offers both services then the link structure should look like this:

``/skin/pharmacy_one /scalp/pharmacy_one ``

Finally, these taxonomies (skin & scalp) need to be connected to custom template page-skin.php & page-scalp.php depending on the URL and display different layout.

So "pharmacy_one" needs to have 2 layout and 2 links.

Is it possible to achieve it?

## Cannot assign raw object 2

My objective is to build a function using modules that runs the bisection method. I have a working bisection method but when I try to implement it as a module I keep getting this error and I can’t figure out why.

``F[z_]:=3 + z + z^2 * Cos[z]   bisectionMethod[f_, a_, b_, n_] := Module[   {},   For[i = 0, i < n, i++,    Print[StringForm["Loop #: ``", i + 1]];    c = (a + b)/2;    y = f[c];    If[y < 0, a = c];    If[y > 0, b = c];    Print[StringForm["a = ``", N[a]]];    Print[StringForm["b  = ``", N[b]]];    c = (a + b)/2;    Print[StringForm["c = ``", N[c]]];    Print[N[f[c]]];    ]      ] bisectionMethod[F, -4 , 2 , 10]  ``

After being run

``  Loop #: 1  Set::setraw: Cannot assign to raw object 2.  a = -4.  b  = 2.`  c = -1.  2.5403  Loop #: 2  Set::setraw: Cannot assign to raw object 2.  a = -4.  b  = 2.`  c = -1.  2.5403 ``

The issue appears to be specifically variable b but I have no idea how b is any different from the others and how to tackle this.

I did a little bit of experimentation and it seems like the line `If[y > 0, b = c];` is problematic

## Randomly assign n elements to n agents such that each agent only knows its own element

### Problem

I’m working on an app that involves shuffling and distributing playing cards to players. As a challenge, I tried to solve this problem in a way that doesn’t require a trusted intermediary.

In other terms, the task is to find a distributed algorithm that

• uniquely assigns $$n$$ agents numbers $$1..n$$
• allows each agent to know nothing about the assignment but its own
• when revealing the assignment, allows other players to verify the assignment

We also assume that knowing other’s assignment is an advantage for each agent, and revealing its own prematurely a disadvantage. Agents are also assumed to be able to talk with each other in a way hidden from all other agents.

## Partial solution

The solution I came up with works only under the assumption that adversaries do not collaborate.

The idea is to create a set of $$n$$ nonces, and assign each agent exactly one nonce. The set is then passed from agent to agent in an agreed upon order, hidden from all others, until each agent received the set exactly once. Each time an agent receives the set, it swaps its nonce with a new one, memorizes the new nonce, and confirms receival of the set to the others. This entire procedure is done twice, at which point, all agents have received the set at least once after all other agents swapped their nonces, making it impossible to recognize and hence map the nonces to the other agents.

When the last agent receives the set the second time, it shares it with everyone, and all agents confirm to the others that their nonce is contained in the set. The agents then assign a number to each nonce in the set based on an agreed upon random seed, giving us the required unique assignment.

To allow ownership verification, instead of the nonces, agents put the hash value of their nonce on the set, revealing the actual nonce only when verification is required.

The problem with this solution is that if adversaries are allowed to collaborate, each time an adversary receives the set, they can compare their versions, identify changes and potentially derive which nonce belongs to other agents, allowing them to know what number got assigned to them.

All ideas are appreciated!

## How to assign a specific service to a specific provider based on location

I’m looking for a way to assign a specific service to a specific provider based on location. I’m currently developing a website with various service providers providing the same service. Do we have a way to achieve this using woocommerce? Thanks

## I am looking for a way to assign numerical values to colors (then interpolate a color scale) and then assign numerical values to comparative colors

Hello may name is Chris

I am completely new to programming (but I love it!! I am learning Swift).

I am currently looking for a solution to the mentioned problem. I’m not sure if it is a ML task or if it is better to do it in the traditional way – maybe by comparing and interpolating RGB values. How I imagine that might be easier to understand in the video.

VIDEO (is there a better way to provide a video?)

The color values ​​below were taken before the adjustment and assigned to the assigned values ​​0, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. The round section is taken from a photo (by light and shadow you can see that not every color value brings a perfect match. But that shouldn’t be a problem (I hope so) by comparing the pixels and evaluating the color value with the most matching colour at the end). My spontaneous manual evaluation gives a value that should be around 19-20.

I have already thought back and forth whether it is possible to do the whole thing using color values ​​(e.g. R G and B) but that is not so easy since there should also be many different results depending on the color format I am working with.

On the other hand, I don’t know how to solve it using ML. It would be easy to recognize the exact color values ​​0, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 – but how can I have intermediate values ​​determined? What do you think? Which approach is the better one? If you have a tip for me, that I know in which direction I have to think further would be great! And if you have an idea how I can work on my problem I would be so grateful!!! … otherwise I think I will need the coming days to find some solution.

Thank you in advance! Chris

## construct a sql , assign it to a variable and execute inside shell script

I am trying to execute a mysql query inside my shell script, which is not executing . Here is what i am trying to do

``query="\"select count(*) from information_schema.tables where TABLE_SCHEMA not in ('mysql','performance_schema','information_schema') and engine!='INNODB';\"" ``

echo \$ query

``"select count(*) from information_schema.tables where TABLE_SCHEMA not in ('mysql','performance_schema','information_schema') and engine!='INNODB';" ``

Inside my shell script , i am executing below which is not working. It is not giving any error but simply not considering -e option and listing down all the valid options for mysql client.

``mysql -u\$  username -p\$  password -e\$  query ``

I even validated below in my shell prompt

``echo "mysql -uroot -p -e\$  query" mysql -uroot -p -e"select count(*) from information_schema.tables where TABLE_SCHEMA not in ('mysql','performance_schema','information_schema') and engine!='INNODB';" ``

which is perfectly fine and executes without any issues. I am not sure what to do now. please help.Thanks

## Is there some mechanisms in PHP to assign “less trust” to scripts in a given dir? (not a duplicate) [closed]

Kindly stop redirecting my questions to that unrelated one which doesn’t answer my question whatsoever. I’ve already read every answer there and it doesn’t help at all. If it did, why would I ask this much more specific question?

This has been a continuous worry and problem for me for ages:

For practical and logical reasons, I am forced to trust some third-party PHP libraries. These are installed, updated and managed with `Composer`, and live in `C:\PHP-untrusted-external`, entirely separated from my own PHP scripts, which live in `C:\PHP-my-own`.

The scripts in `C:\PHP-my-own` include and make use of the libraries in `C:\PHP-untrusted-external`.

Since there is no way that anyone, especially not I, could ever vet all the third-party code, and all updates, I’m looking for some way to “secure” or “sandbox” these in some way, even if it’s just partial.

Basically, I’m worried that one day, an update will make an edit such as:

``unlink('C:\'); ``

Or:

``phone_home_to_hacker_server(\$  contents_of_my_harddrive); ``

If that happened, the scripts would happily run and do those actions. Nothing prevents them from doing so.

Is there really no way to specify in the `php.ini` configuration file, something like:

``security.sandbox_dir = "C:\PHP-untrusted-external" ``

Or:

``security.refuse_network_connections_for_dir = "C:\PHP-untrusted-external" security.refuse_disk_io_for_dir = "C:\PHP-untrusted-external" ``

… or something like that?

I don’t understand Docker. I have tried it countless times, and it makes no sense whatsoever to me. I don’t want Docker. I don’t want to deal with containers. Correction: I can’t deal with it. I’ve tried to, but didn’t understand it. Several times.

I just want PHP to support this in itself, and it seems more than reasonable to me. Doesn’t it seem reasonable to you?

The saying that “at some point, you have to trust other people” is way too generic/vague to apply here. It’s bypassing the problem. I don’t trust people at all, and for good reason. It seems idiotic that we are (apparently) just supposed to sit around and wait for the disaster to happen. At least if I could prevent the third-party scripts form doing anything with the file system and network, that would go some way toward mitigating this issue. It still won’t make the scripts unable to lie about the numbers/data they return to me, but at least they can’t directly “phone home” or delete random files.
