Why the output is 3?

Question

list=[1,2,3,4,6]
if len(list)%2!=0;
print(list[max(list)%4])
else:
print(list[min(list)])

the len is 4 indexes
4%2 =2
list max - 4%4 —>1
so why it is not 1 but 3 and what is min list -0?

Answer 1

THEGreatGatsby , the length of the list is 5 (there are five elements in the list starting from index 0 to 4). So if conditional is true => 5%2! =0 and max element in the list is 6 => print (list [6%4]) => list[2] => 3. Hope now everything is clear 🐱

Answer 2

Just adding a note. Python is really strict when it comes to code indentation. As I see your code, all the lines are on the same indentation level, so I think this code is not running, at least until one fixed the indentation problem.

Answer 3

cool :)
