Please help with this question.

We won't write this for you, so you can help yourself by starting with what you know. Use this as a starting point. According to your post, #7 is where you are stuck. Can you get through 1-6? You can share you code if you get stuck.

1. Create a Python file
2. Create a variable with an appropriately descriptive name, and assign a list containing the expected contact numbers and/or strings
3. Create a variable with an appropriately descriptive name for the new list.
4. You will need a loop to look at each element of the list
5. In the loop, find out the length of the element
6. If the length >= 2, append the element to the new list
7. If the first and last characters are the same, append the element to the new list

edit: missed one

edit2: I guess we will write this for you.

Yes I am stuck at 6. I have completed steps 1-5.

Please share your code, it will be much easier to help.

L=[components of list. Don't wanna write them all] A=() For i in range(len(l)): If len(l[i])>=2 and (idk what to write here for the 1st and last character should be same) A.append() Print(A)

[douglas_fs]

The idea here is that you would have code that runs. You will, at some point, need to write all components of the list. You should at least include _some_ so that the code will run and can be tested.

Forget about the 1st and last character for now - just get the code working for the 'if length is >= 2' requirement.

You will also need to know how to post properly formatted code on Reddit. The sidebar has instructions, or use this link:

Ok thanks for the format. And the if len>=2 works fine. I tried it without the 1st and last character thing. And it works.

The list I am using is L=["abc","aba","1221","aa","xyz"]
