I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 model b to control LEDs connected on a breadboard. I want the lights to tell me what chore I have to do today: when to take out the trash, recyclables, vacuum, and clean the bathroom. There's is also another rotation happening every 6 days that I need to keep track of. The code does run and fulfill its purpose, but it is really inconvenient that I have to rewrite the functions Fixed(), vacuum(), and chores() to have the code start in the position I want. My question is how can I make the code run in the right starting position of the cycles without having to rewrite the code itself?
