hello,
I need a nested list, like this
>>> A= [ [None,None], [None,None], [None, None] ]
>>> A[2][0] =77
>>> A
[[None, None], [None, None], [77, None]]
Because the list is much larger, I need a shortcut (ok I can use a for
loop)
So I tried
>>> B = 3 * [ [ None, None ]]
>>> B[2][0] = 77
>>> B
[[77, None], [77, None], [77, None]]
which doesn't work as expected.
any suggestions ?
thanks,
Stef
A for loop to fill in the array would work, but list comprehension
(which is really just an internal loop for filling an array) is probably
more efficient, certainly less code, and arguably more Pythonic.
A = [ [None,None] for i in range(1000) ]
