Question

Assume the following statement appears in a program:
names = []
Which of the following statements would you use to add the string ‘Wendy’ to the list at index 0? Why would you select this statement instead of the other?
a. names[0] = 'Wendy'
b. names.append('Wendy')

Answer

Here we use b.names.append('wendy')

Because,

  • Here we have no elements to go with option(a. names[0] = 'Wendy') that is indexing.
  • we can use indexing only when we have elements present in a list.
  • so we append the element into the list(i.e names.append('wendy'))
2 0
