Question

Python Beginners! What's the most interesting way you've used lists so far?

I'm currently learning about lists in Python — like .append(), .remove(), slicing, etc.

Curious: what's a small project or fun example where you used a list in a cool or creative way? I'd love to get inspired!

Answer 1

A couple of ways I've used lists:

For practice you can attempt some of the Code Coaches available from the Community tab in app.

Haha, same here! 😅 I find lists super useful but still wrapping my head around things like slicing and nested lists.
Got any mini project ideas to practice with?

Answer 5

You can make a slot machine project

import asyncio
import random

class Node:
def __init__(self, node_id, peers):
self.node_id = node_id
self.peers = peers
self.queue = asyncio.Queue()

async def send_message(self, target_node, message):
await target_node.queue.put((self.node_id, message))

async def receive_messages(self):
while True:
sender, message = await self.queue.get()
print(f"Node {self.node_id} received '{message}' from Node {sender}")

async def start(self):
asyncio.create_task(self.receive_messages())
await asyncio.sleep(random.uniform(1, 3))
for peer in self.peers:
await self.send_message(peer, f"Hello from Node {self.node_id}")

async def main():
# Crear nodos
nodes = [Node(i, []) for i in range(3)]

# Asignar peers
for node in nodes:
node.peers = [peer for peer in nodes if peer != node]

# Iniciar nodos
await asyncio.gather(*(node.start() for node in nodes))
await asyncio.sleep(2)

That's an awesome way to explore Python! Lists are incredibly versatile, and once you start experimenting, you can do some really fun things.

One cool way I've seen lists used is in a **simple to-do list manager**. You can create a list to store tasks, use `.append()` to add new tasks, `.remove()` to delete completed ones, and slicing to display certain parts of the list. You could even add some interactivity using `input()` to let users manage their tasks dynamically.

Another fun example is a **random story generator**. You can store different elements—characters, settings, and actions—in separate lists and use `random.choice()` to pick one from each list to create a quirky little story.

Since you're exploring slicing, have you tried reversing a list with `my_list[::-1]`? It's a neat trick that can be handy in many projects!

What kind of projects are you thinking about? Maybe I can help brainstorm something unique!

I made a simple quote generator using a list of quotes and random.choice() — it prints a new one each time. Also tried a mini to-do list app using .append() and .remove(). https://www-dgcustomerfirst.com
