What is wrong with a[0:1] ?
The returns the head of the list. I need everything except the last
element ('init' is from Haskell).
I missed out one character, it should of course have been:-
a[0:-1]
for i in range(len(names)):
print (names[i],totals[i])
Always a code smell when range() and len() are combined.
Any other way of traversing two lists in parallel?
Use zip(), but as I suggested in my earlier reply there are better data
structures than two lists in parallel for this problem.
