10.6. Nested ListsΒΆ
A nested list is a list that appears as an element in another list. For example:
The list nested is a lists of lists. Each inner list can be a
different length, but they all must be lists of ints. If we print
nested[3], we get [10, 20]. To extract an element from the
nested list, we can proceed in two steps. First, extract the inner
list, then extract the item of interest. It is also possible to
combine those steps using bracket operators that evaluate from left to
right.
Check your understanding
- 6
- 6 is in the wrong list. alist[1] refers to the second item in a_list, namely [777, 888, 999].
- 8
- 8 is in the wrong list. alist[1] refers to the second item in alist, namely [777, 888, 999].
- 777
- Yes, a_list[0][1] is 6 which is less than 100 and a_list[1] is the second list, the first item is 777.
- 888
- alist[0][1] is 6 which is less than 100. Take another look at the if statement.
list-23-1: What is printed by the following statements?
a_list: [[int]]
a_list = [[4, 6, 8], [777, 888, 999]]
if a_list[0][1] < 100:
print(a_list[1][0])
else:
print(a_list[1][1])
