list1 = range(5) is [0,1,2,3,4] and list2 = range(10) is [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] according to the provided example. So, why does list1 index[4] not result in the answer 3?

Answer 1

Indexes start at 0. list1[4] is thus the 5th element of list1, ie 4. Same deal for strings.

Answer 2

i have learned that counting lists and strings works differently. i now understand why the answer is 4.

Answer 3

all indexes start with '0' like:
[0,1,2,3,4]
|0,1,2,3,4|
