returning a List of Lists - nafshar - Oct-28-2022
I am trying to return an empty list of lists from a function so that, when printed, will look like : [[""]]
But a return like the following result in a printing: []
return [[]]*1 return [[]]I would be grateful for any suggestion.

Like this?
x_list = [[(str())]] print(x_list)
Output:[['']]RE: returning a List of Lists - deanhystad - Oct-28-2022
There is no such thing as an empty list of lists. There is an empty list [], there is an empty list in a list [[]], and there is an empty string in a list that is in another list [[""]]. The last having no empty lists at all.
empty_list = [] empty_list_in_list = [[]] empty_str_in_list_in_list = [[""]] print(empty_list, empty_list_in_list, empty_str_in_list_in_list)
[] [[]] [['']]
