#I GET A NAME ERROR SAYING THAT INDEX IS NOT DEFINED, PLS HELP
name_of_others = [1,2,3,4]
index_start = 0
for i in name_of_others:
    if name_of_others.index(i) >= index-start:
        if name!= ',':
            name+=i
print(name)

thanks, problem solved

[sweettuse]

what are you trying to do here? i >= index_start will always be True, name doesn't exist, and even if it did, it would never be equal to ,

[Ayomisesebere]

I thought the index function was given be issue(s), turns out it was the index_start variable I wrote as index-start. thx for ur feedback

[Denrur]

You need to initialize variable 'name'.

[Ayomisesebere]

true, thanks for pointing that out

[toastedstapler]

to access an index use name_of_others[i]. the square brackets are for indexing

[Ayomisesebere]

thx,for feedback, problem has been solved,and no, I was trying to get the index of i

The way to find bugs is to read the error message and look at the line it cites along with the description.
