It's print 8, but how??

Answer 1

Hi Prasert!
Indices are always starting from zero in lists. This is the thing you have to keep in your mind when you're using lists to store data. So, list[4] is 5th element of this list that is 5. Now it becomes list([5]). Hence, list[5] is 8 which is the 6th element of this list.

Answer 2

It will get the element with the index 4 and make that the index in which is 5
Then will get the element with the index 5
That becomes 8

Answer 3

Your code throws an exception, as you've masked the original variable containing the reference to the actual list class. Try changing the parentheses into square brackets.

Python Learner could not explain it better myself
