Help with lists

[Blaedel]

Hi

OK - yes,you're right. The thing is that I simply can't figure out how. Now, based on you're reply, I tried to put in the following, which seem more clear. Still doesn't work - or in fact I'm not sure because I don't get any response in my VScode, which could lead to something being absolutely wrong in the code.

import random
nouns = ["fossil", "horse", "aardvark", "judge", "chef", "mango", "gorilla"]

new_lst =  []
i = 0

while i < 3 :
    select_noun = random.choice(nouns)
    if select_noun.index in new_lst == False :
        new_lst.append(select_noun)

i = len(new_lst)

print (new_lst)

Can you find the problem in this?

Cheers
