Mixed Lists In Python

[beach_boy98]

So for my python homework we had to find out how to get an item out of a mixed lists. The example he gave us looked something like this. : List = [6, ,4 bacon, 'Hi'] I need to know how to get the items out of it.

bacon = "Bacon"List = [6, 4, bacon, "Hi"]print List[0]

This will print the first item of the list (6), if you replace the 0 on the last line with a 1 you will get the second item from the list (4), etc...

Can you be a bit more specific with what you need to get?  You can always do a simple if-statement to see if an item is in the list, and return it if it is:

foo = 'blah'my_list = [1, 4, 'blah', 4.5]if foo in my_list:    do stuff

Or just do normal list indexing.  I think list indexing is a bit faster (not really important unless you need to do this a lot), but the if foo in my_list approach is a bit better if you already know what specific item in a list you're looking for.  Either way, mixed lists aren't particularly special in Python, since the whole list doesn't have a single type (unlike, say, C, where you declare a type for a whole array).  So anythin you can do with a normal list of, say, all integers, you can do with a mixed list.  Indexing, slicing, etc all have the same syntax/implementation.
