Modifying / extracting multiple list items simultaneously using variable from range

[hshivaraj]

def sieve(x):
    erik[(2x)::x]=False

Im not sure what your trying to do here. In fact what your trying to do there is syntactically wrong!

I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ASSIGN MULTIPLE LIST VALUES AT THE SAME TIME. CAN IT BE DONE? It doesn’t seem to want to accept a variable in the list definition so perhaps not…?

Did you mean something like this?

>>> a = list(range(100))
>>> 
>>> a = [False] * 100
>>> 
>>> a
[False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False]
