Python Developer - Pancakes Exercise

Question

This is the solution:
#the list of breakfasts
breakfasts = [
'Donuts', 'Waffles', 'Yogurt',
'Burrito', 'Toast']

#index of the item to be replaced
item = int(input())

#replace that item with "Pancakes"
breakfasts[item] ='Pancakes'

#display the updated list
print(breakfasts)

I do not understand how item 0, 3, and 4 were defined as Pancakes. Where is that info inside the code?

Answer 1

Hi, Marcus Bigtree !

When you input a number between 0 and 4, it will become the list index where the word ’Pancakes’ is assigned to.

4 -> breakfasts[4] = ’Pancakes’ -> [’Donuts’, …, ’Pancakes’ ]
