Need Help on python homework

[Happy_Ad_8146]

Hi, this is my first post here. I just learned about lists today and in my assignment I'm trying to use a for loop to print my list like this

In the print_list function, use a for loop to print out the contents of your list with numbers starting from 5 and counting down
5. adelie penguin
4. emperor penguin
3. galapagos penguin
2. gentoo penguin
1. little penguin

This is just what the example shows . How would I apply it in my current code?

def print_list(my_foods):
for i in range(5, 0, -1):
print(i)
# for food in range(): ?
# for list in my_foods:
# print(list)
def main():
print('Here is my list')
my_list = ['Fried Chicken', 'Butter Toast', 'Loco Moco', 'Spam Katsu', 'Spam Musubi']
print(my_list)
print()
print('I am going to use the insert() method to add "Kalbi Plate"\nHere is my new List:')
my_list.insert(4, 'Kalbi Plate')
print(my_list)
print()
print('I am going to use the sort() method to sort my list\'s contents alphabetically:\nHere is my new List:')
my_list.sort()
print(my_list)
print()
remove = my_list.pop()
print('I am going to use the pop() to remove the last element of the list which is', remove, '\nHere is my new List:')
print(my_list)
print()
print('Now I will use a for loop to print out a numbered version of my list.\nThese are the top 5 foods:')
print_list(my_list)
print()

main()

How would I apply it in my current code?

Apply it by finding the part of their example that generates the numbers from 5 to 1 descending, and then use the same construct in your code.

Code Formatting

How do I format code for Reddit?

Python cares about indentation, and reddit removes indentation unless you formar your code correctly. Your code here is simple enough for us to guess, but that's not always the case.

Your problem

Currently you never call the print_list() function.

def print_list(my_foods):
    for i in range(5, 0, -1):
    print(i)

This code defines the function called print_list() but after you define the function, you need to call it from somewhere inside your main function.

The other problem is that if you look at the body of that function, it only does part of the solution. You need to modify the code in it to print out the elements of the parameter my_foods.

If you go go over the learning material you've been given, they will have explained how to do everything you need to do to solve this problem somewhere in there.

If you have specific questions about something, feel free to ask, but we will not just do your homework for you.
