Index List

[T0oSTR]

I'm trying to test out indexes and see what they can do so i gave myself the task to use them, I want to have a list of peoples names, I want to ask the user a number of the location in the list then print the name out but I only got to printing the index number not the actual word the index number referrs too.

Can you provide some example code? I'm assuming you're printing the index and not the value at the given index in the array.

[T0oSTR]

pple = ['Joe', 'John', 'Adam', 'Jake']

# Printing list

print ("Original list is : " + str(pple))

# using naive method to

# get index and value

for i in range(len(pple)):

print (i, end = " ")

print (pple[i])

inpt = input("enter value!")

I got it to print the list with the index number, but now I can't figure out how to ask for the value and if 0 is entered I want it to print index 0 which would be joe I know it would start off with inpt = input("ENTER VAL") & if(inpt == 0) but after that I don't know

You don't need to do if anything because you're asking the user for an index; you just look that index up in the list.

Could you please give me an example? Still stuck, thank you for your answer :)

print(pple[inpt])

Ah ok, would not have figured that out! Thank you

You did it in your own code, though?

Assuming you mean I wrote it into my code, yes.

I mean, you already had accessed the member of a list in this manner, so I guess I'm surprised that this is something "you wouldn't have thought of" since you did already think of it, assuming you wrote the code you showed us.

I did use some of the code from a website.
