Accessing Nested List Elements #
To access the data of a nested list in Python, you can use the square brackets operator [] and specify the index of the nested list that you want to access.
For example, consider the previous nested list:
my_list = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
Here's what you get when you try to access the first element of the list:
print(my_list[0]) # output: [1,2,3]
And to access the first element within the first element, you can simply add another set of square brackets, like so:
print(my_list[0][0]) # output: 1
Exercise #
- Given a list
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]], get the second element of the second element and assign it to a variablewanted_element - Make sure to use
[]to get the element - Do not edit the first line of the code
