List error,

Question

#I'm not getting why it's giving me this error, i'm using jupyter notebook therefore i was hoping for it to show me the list as so, i already tried changing the name since "list" as so i get is a buil in function but still gives me such error. Would someone please mind to explain? Thanks in advance

nums = ["abc","def","hij"]
list(map(lambda l:l[0],nums))

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

Answer 1

It doesn't give any errors, are you sure you wrote it exactly like this ?

Answer 2
