However, I keep getting the error: IndexError: list index out of
range. Could anyone give me a helping hand as to where I am going wrong?
When things go wrong, Python tries to be helpful by providing a
"traceback". Please copy-paste the entire traceback, to help us help you.
The error-message says that (somewhere) a list is being used *but* the
index is pointing to an element that does not exist, eg the fifth
element of a list that contains only three members.
Short answer: What you could do, is add a temporary print() to show you
the exact value of the list index. Thus, giving you a pointer/where to
back-track, to find the source of the problem...
The longer answer: learning to use a debugger or a 'visual' IDE/web-tool.
FYI, that's the same good advice that ChrisA gave yesterday in reply to
the same post. See the thread "Applied Data Science with Python -
Assignment 2.3: clicking on chart to select Y values".
Apologies @MRAB, didn't realise the duplication. I think I came to that
thread late, noticed @Chris (and yourself?) had responded, deleted, and
moved-on.
