Python 3 Control Structures Quiz Question #1

Question

I have been looking at this code, and though the answer is that it prints 8, I cannot figure out how it gets there.

list = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]
print(list[list[4]])

print(list[4])

/* This returns the 4th indexed number in the list, which is 5 (starting at 0 and counting through the numbers.) */

print(list) //This produces the original 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13.

// How does nesting the list variable in the print function return 8?

Answer 1

Aha. Gotcha. Thank you much, Ace! [list4] returns 5, which becomes the index to then return 8. Cool!
