Python: Initialize list and tuple values

This tutorial will show on how to give a Python list an initial value.

To initialize a ten items list with values set to 0:

myList = [0]*10

If we need to have 5 items of a list with the value 0 and the rest 5 with the value 1:

myList = [0]*5 + [1]*5

To initialize a ten items tuple with values set to 0:

myTuple = (0,)*10

If we need to have 5 item in a tuple with the value 0 and the rest 5 with the value 1:

myTuple = (0,)*5 + (1,)*5

For list, don’t forget the comma ‘,’. It means one item.

    you’ve got tuples and lists backwards. tupes are () and lists are [].
