IndentationError in the Following Python Script

Question

My code is not running although everything is properly indented and I have been using Python for a while now, so I am no longer in the world of programming. I couldn't find the solution.

def revisedRussianRoulette(doors):
    counter = 0
    for i in range(0, len(doors), 2):
        i = int(i)
        if doors[i] == 1 & counter == 0:
            counter += 1
        elif doors[i] == 1 & counter == 1:
            doors[i] = 0
            doors[i-2] = 0
            doors[i+2] = 0
        elif doors[i] == 0 & counter == 1:
            doors[i-2] = 0
    return doors


n = int(input().strip())
doors = list(map(int, input().strip().split(' ')))
result = revisedRussianRoulette(doors)
print (" ".join(map(str, result)))

The thing I want to do with this code does not matter. I just want to ask if the syntax is correct because I am getting the following error.

C:\Users\lenovo\Desktop\Practice Files>2nd_answer_week_of_code_36.py
  File "C:\Users\lenovo\Desktop\PracticeFiles\2nd_answer_week_of_code_36.py", line 13
return doors
           ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

Please, could anyone tell me the solution fast?

EDIT:

The solution provided by Vikas was accurate, although there were no differences between his and my code.

also, the `counter += 1` line is not indented 1 level extra from the preceding `if` — Cristian Lupascu, Feb 06 '18 at 12:07
I have updated the question. This is my current code. That was poor formatting earlier. First question of mine on Stack Overflow. — oATOMo, Feb 06 '18 at 12:26

Do indenation like this :

def revisedRussianRoulette(doors):
    counter = 0
    for i in range(0, len(doors), 2):
        i = int(i)
        if doors[i] == 1 & counter == 0:
            counter += 1
        elif doors[i] == 1 & counter == 1:
            doors[i] = 0
            doors[i-2] = 0
            doors[i+2] = 0
        elif doors[i] == 0 & counter == 1:
            doors[i-2] = 0
    return doors

That was an error in the question. I have updated the question. – oATOMo Feb 06 '18 at 12:22
No, I have updated the question. This is my current code. Still the same error. I don’t know why? – oATOMo Feb 06 '18 at 12:25
@oATOMo can you trace back your current error, When I try code i don't get any error . – Vikas Periyadath Feb 06 '18 at 12:32
What do u mean by trace Back? – oATOMo Feb 06 '18 at 12:33
@VikasDamodar do you use 6 spaces for indendation? If I copy your code, that is at least. Never seen that before, I think standard is four. – Banana Feb 06 '18 at 12:34
I used four spaces only in my actual code. Here to write my code I used this formatting. – oATOMo Feb 06 '18 at 12:36
@VikasDamodar how do you do that? This is the full error I am getting. – oATOMo Feb 06 '18 at 12:37
@Banana yeah standard is 4, maybe its six, I will check it, But if it is six also doesn't give indentation error. – Vikas Periyadath Feb 06 '18 at 12:37
@VikasDamodar well, it does usually – Banana Feb 06 '18 at 12:41
Please someone give me a final solution – oATOMo Feb 06 '18 at 12:42
@oATOMo you can check your code here, I dont find any error, : https://repl.it/repls/UnrealisticDevotedMuskox – Vikas Periyadath Feb 06 '18 at 12:50
Thanks Vikas for all your help. – oATOMo Feb 07 '18 at 02:19

def revisedRussianRoulette(doors):
    counter = 0
    for i in range(0, len(doors), 2):
        i = int(i)
        condition_one = doors[i] == 1 & counter == 0
        condition_two = doors[i] == 1 & counter == 1
        condition_three = doors[i] == 0 & counter == 1
        if condition_one:
            counter += 1
        elif condition_two:
            doors[i] = 0
            doors[i-2] = 0
            doors[i+2] = 0
        elif condition_three:
            doors[i-2] = 0
        return doors

n = int(input().strip())
doors = list(map(int, input().strip().split()))
result = revisedRussianRoulette(doors)
print (" ".join(map(str, result)))

What difference does it make? – oATOMo Feb 06 '18 at 12:30 — oATOMo, Feb 06 '18 at 12:30
