I'm not comprehending this code, help please?

Question

number = 3
things = ["string", 0, [1, 2, number], 4.56]
print(things[1])
print(things[2])
print(things[2][2]) that last line is supposed to be 3 but im not getting how that works out.

Answer 1

The output I get when I run your code is:

0
[1,2,3]
3

So the last line is 3. Is that not what you were expecting?

Answer 2

Remember the second list is nested so Python counts it like this:

0 ="string"
1= 0
2 = the nested list

Then:

0 = 1
1 = 2
2 = number

Answer 3

yes I just forgot about the nested part of it, this is my first language :) thanks!

Answer 4

print(things[2]) is [1,2,number] and the index 2 of that list is number.
