Python: Initialize list and tuple values

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

To initialize list myTuple values to 0, with 10 items:

1
myTuple = [0]*10

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

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

To initialize list myList values to 0, with 10 items:

1
myList = (0,)*10

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

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

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