Hello,
I am working on a topic already discussed in many threads but giving more a controlled approach and proceeding chunk to chunk. Despite that I am encountering an errot that halts my proceeding.
The logic is basically to have one loop for place a panel into a sequence where the next is never the same type of the previous one until the row is completed, than split the remainder or whatever I did not reach that point yet. I saw a nice solution here but before change it, I wanted to start with the control as main point since the deifnition should be used by somebody who does not know Dynamo.
I created 2 functions: One just place a panel. The second fill the row.
Nodes are feeded with the size of the panels (A,B,C,D) a random number linked to a slider for control, and the length of the wall.
Here the script, that gives me an unexpected token error.

The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables.
dataEnteringNode = IN
a=IN[0];
b=IN[1];
c=IN[2];

temp=IN[4];
l=IN[5];
n=IN[6];

OS.append(temp)
def addonepanel(aa,bb,cc,dd,tp,nn):
this routine add one panel ///
tp is the current panel
aa,bb,cc, dd are the type of panel available, sizes in float number rounded to ONE digits.
#nn is one random float number between 0 and 1, for instance 0.343253
return s, just one panel size
s=0.0;
if nn == 0:
return (“your data is null”);
else:
if type(nn)== list:
return (“m should be a number between 0 and 1 not a list”);
if (n < 0.00) or (n>1.0) :
return ( “n should be a number comprised between 0 and 1”);
else:
pass;
the following If series to exclude the possibilities to have same size panels side by side
if tp == aa:

Randomization is between 3 size panels 4 minus the temp size

if nn< 0.33 :
newtemp = a;

Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = K[0],K[1]
