Why does it say my list index is out of range?

Question

Why does it say my list index is out of range?

Answer

If you see an error that reads IndexError: list index out of range, this means you’ve tried accessing an index that the list doesn’t have an element at!
If you wrote print numbers[1 + 3], for example, you would be effectively trying to access index 4, or the 5th item, in a list that only has 4 items! To add the values like we want to for this exercise, simply separate them on their own, like this: print numbers[first] + numbers[second]
