Got the counting right for the back test!
Published:
Difficult project, having to count how many nnn lines are in the classification group while still maintaining the flexibility to run analysis on variable columns... now counts accurately! Both pick 3 and pick 5 tested and verified.
Ran short tests over 70 draws so I could verify the counts by looking at the generated csv files.
Almost made a mistake in good programming by using a global variable, but instead went with a return value and an accumulator in the main loop.
Probably sounds boring, and after a few hours per session for a few weeks it was... until it worked! Still love those a-ha! moments when coding.
Next up will be to find half a day to update and run the full sets for both pick 3 and pick 5 games.
