Adding to a value in a loop counter in Python

Question

I’m trying to get it add 1 to streak every time the loop runs, but it keeps the same number. I’m trying to make a counter every time it sees red.

from time import sleep
import pyautogui

streak = 0
r = 1
def color():

    pix = pyautogui.pixel(500, 285)
    red = pix[0]
    print (red)

    if red == 222:

        x = streak + r
        print (x)

while True:
    color()
    sleep(5)

Answer 1

This code allows you to know how many times you have seen red.

from time import sleep
import pyautogui

r = 0


def color():
    global r
    pix = pyautogui.pixel(950, 540)
    color_var = pix[0]
    print(color_var)

    if color_var > 222:
        r += 1
        if r > 1:
            print(f"I have seen red {r} times")
        else:
            print(f"I have seen red {r} time")


while True:
    color()
    sleep(1)

Answer 2

your problem is easy you need add 1 to streak inside the if, instead you are creating a new var and adding the value in it you never change the streak init value

this line x = streak + r should be like this streak = streak + r

Answer 3

the most simple way is to use :

number += othernumber

example :

number += 1
