8.2.3 A List Is Like A Mutable Tuple CodeHS Answers
The most common answer is:
“””
This program shows how indexing and slicing can be used with lists.
“””
Creating an empty list:
my_list = []
print my_list
Creating a list with things in it:
list_of_things = [“hi”, 3, 4.8]
thing_zero = list_of_things[0]
thing_one = list_of_things[1]
thing_two = list_of_things[2]
print thing_zero
print thing_one
print thing_two
print list_of_things
print len(list_of_things)
Unlike with a tuple, you can change a particular element in a list!
list_of_things[0] = 2
print list_of_things
Get everything starting at thing 0 and going up to BUT NOT INCLUDING thing 2
print list_of_things[0:2]
This gets things 1 and 2
print list_of_things[1:3]
This gets everything from thing 1
to the end.
print list_of_things[1:]
This gets everything from the beginning up to but not including
thing 2
print list_of_things[:2]
This gets the last thing.
print list_of_things[-1]
This gets the last two things.
print list_of_things[-2:]
