Hello,
I am currently working on the above exercise and I cant seem to get the list to generate, am i missing something?
I bet its something really silly.
https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-python-3/articles/advanced-python-code-challenges-lists
as you can see on the right hand side, range() does not return a list
we could convert the range object into a list.
It’s not silly.
You are missing one component, a constructor before range()
hint:
Hi, thanks,
Could you show me using this example of how the list would be structured?
def every_three_nums(start):
return list([range(start, 101, 3)])
print(every_three_nums(91))
I have tried to apply a list to the return line, but I am getting an typeerror.
So first you wrap the range object in a list, and then you try to convert the list into a list? Why?
Ok sussed it, got my brackets muddled up.
def every_three_nums(start):
return list((range(start, 101, 3)))
print(every_three_nums(91))
I would still argue you have on set of parentheses too many
I an not entirely sure what you mean, please understand I am still learning and I don’t know all the technical jargon yet.
parentheses/brackets, these things: ()
isn’t such a technical term, right?
you have 3 sets of parentheses, while you only need two. the “middle” set of parentheses doesn’t serve any purpose at the moment
