''' Support your understanding of lists list creation ''' # get some lists print() s = "we are in it together" values = [ ] #this is an empty list... you'll need to initialize your lists. ie: list_1 = [] stuff = [ 'abc', 1112, 2.71, ] #This is defining a list by putting stuff in the list digits = [ 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6 ] words = s.split() #.split takes a strign and breaks it up into a list of strings based on spaced in the originial string # print them out print( "values =", values ) print() print( "stuff =", stuff ) print() print( "digits =", digits ) print() print( "words =", words ) print() ''' Extra notes: len() finds how many things are in a sequence. say you have a string "sophie" 1)s = "sophie" Now you want the length... 2) n = len(s) This will output : 6 Also comments are not considered! They are only for the programmer. max(list) looks are the largest value in a list '''
