PYTHON'LISTS'
Does accessing an index which does not exist generates an exception (an error) like in this code script? mylist = [1,2,3] print(mylist[10])
Yes; print(mylist[10]) IndexError: list index out of range
In this exercise, you will need to add numbers and strings to the correct lists using the "append" list method. You must add the numbers 1,2, and 3 to the "numbers" list, and the words 'hello' and 'world' to the strings variable. You will also have to fill in the variable second_name with the second name in the names list, using the brackets operator []. Note that the index is zero-based, so if you want to access the second item in the list, its index will be 1. -numbers = [] -strings = [] -names = ["John", "Eric", "Jessica"] # write your code here -numbers.append(1) -numbers.append(2) -numbers.append(3) -strings.append("hello") -strings.append("world") -second_name = names[1] # this code should write out the filled arrays and the second name in the names list (Eric). -print(numbers) -print(strings) -print("The second name on the names list is %s" % second_name)
<script.py> output: [1, 2, 3] ['hello', 'world'] The second name on the names list is Eric
Are Lists similar to arrays? Can they contain any type of variable, and contain as many variables as one wish. Can they be iterated over in a very simple manner?Give an example of how to build a list.
Yes;Lists are very similar to arrays. They can contain any type of variable, and they can contain as many variables as you wish. Lists can also be iterated over in a very simple manner. Here is an example of how to build a list. -mylist = [] -mylist.append(1) -mylist.append(2) -mylist.append(3) -print(mylist[0]) # prints 1 -(mylist[1]) # prints 2 -print(mylist[2]) # prints 3 # prints out 1,2,3 -for x in mylist: print(x)
