785 PointsLists redux 3/3 challenge Error, code works in workspace
Hi, when I run this code I get the message that there are elements missing from my list but when I run this in the python workspace console, I get a list with the numbers 1:20 What am I missing?
the_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
# Your code goes below here
the_list.pop()
the_list.insert(0, the_list.pop(3))
the_list.remove(False)
del the_list[1]
the_list.extend(range(3,21))

785 PointsThanks, guys for your help! I was a little fuzzy on the range function, and how it indexes.
Details!
Also, Kenneth I am having no luck with the preview tab. It never seems to show any output.

7,056 PointsThe problem is that range([start value inclusive], [stop value exclusive], [step]. So, if you run range(1, 5) you get [1, 2, 3, 4]. With your code, you get [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, ..., 20].
I hope this helps ^^

785 Points[1,2,3,4,5, ....., 20 ] is exactly what I want, and it is what I get, but the site will not accept this as being correct even though it lists the correct values of 1:20 after using the .extend function.
