Hi folks,

Another python question for the forum, this one should be easy. I am trying to complete the following exercise and am stumped with the last section. I am asked to print only the items in the list with exactly 5 characters. If anyone can help me out that would be much appreciated.

# Create list with these four entries: roads, streams, parks, contours value1 = "roads" value2 = "streams" value3 = "parks" value4 = "contours"  List = [value1, value2, value3, value4]  # Print the first entry in the list to the interactive window print List[0]  # Use a loop to print every entry that has exactly 5 # characters to the interactive window  print List


Thanks,

Brett

Correct Answer
Python has a length() test:


# Create list with these four entries: roads, streams, parks, contours
value1 = "roads"
value2 = "streams"
value3 = "parks"
value4 = "contours"

List = [value1, value2, value3, value4]

# Print the first entry in the list to the interactive window
print List[0]

# Use a loop to print every entry that has exactly 5
for val in List:
    if len(val) == 5:
        print '{0} has a length of 5 characters'.format(val)
# characters to the interactive window
