Where did zero come from?

Question

import random

n = input(int())
list = [0, "1-red", "2-black", "3-red", "4-black", "5-red", "6-black", "7-red", "8-black", "9-red", "10-black"]
r = int(random.randint(0,10))
print(list[r])
print(n)

Why does this code output zero at the beginning?

Answer 1

Zero comes from India. Your weird output comes from doing input(int()) instead of int(input()).

Answer 2

Also, never use existing function or class names, like list, for your variables. This overloads the existing resource, and you can get weird and hard to follow problems.

Answer 3

More specifically, int() returns 0 by itself, and arg in input(arg) prints arg as a prompt before taking input, but you can't really see that happening in the playground because all input is entered at the beginning

Answer 4

good catch.😎

input() displays anything inside the () as a prompt. int() is 0, so you have a 0 stuck in your display with
n=input(int()).

The print(list[r]) is displayed beside that, because there is no '\n' in your input prompt. So you end up with
01-red or something similar.

you can omit some things to simplify your code.

list = ["1-red", "2-black", "3-red", "4-black", "5-red", "6-black", "7-red", "8-black", "9-red", "10-black"]
r = random.randint(0,9)

also, list is a bad variable name
