Python newbie is asking

[Marcus_Gondwe]

Hie, am just a newbie to python. i downloaded pycharm as my IDE and python 3.6 installed. I have a book which I am studying but when I try to practice some of the codes it gives me errors. surprisingly even if i copy the exact code it still gives me errors. Is my IDE ok or may the code isn't correct? for example, when i copy this code (changing lists) into my ide it gives me errors >>> x= [1,1,1] x[3]=2 please help me at [email protected]

Thanks Satish for your answer, I really assigned to a position (3) that doesn't exist. How could I not see it.

>>> x= [1,1,1] x[3]=2

the >>> is showing interactive use,
the code you need to copy is:

x = [1,1,1]
x[2] = 2

Remember index starts with 0, so x[3] doesn't exist

if you want to add another element, use append:

x = [1,1,1]
x.append(2)
