What do the extra brackets do?

Question

What is the output of this code?
list = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]
print(list[list[4]])

Why does it print 8?

Answer 1

list[4] = 5
list[list[4]] = list[5] = 8

Answer 2

Solve it from the inside out.
list[4] is the element at index position 4, which is 5.
So list[list[4]] is the same as list[5]
list[5] is the element at index position 5, which is 8.
😊

Answer 3

list[4] accesses the fifth element of list, which is 5.

list[list[4]] hence accesses list[5], which is the sixth element of list, 8.

Answer 4

Three answers for the price of one 😄

Answer 5

list = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]
print(list[list[4]])

1. list's index start from 0 then 1 then 2...
2. ' list[4] ' will calculated first
list[4] = 5
3. then
list[ list[4] ] = list[5]
and,
list[5] = 8
thats why it prints 8

Answer 6

Good question,,,,
list[0] means the first value of the array.
So, list[4] is the 5th value of the array means 5;
So, list[list[4]]->list[5] means the 6th value of the array means 8;
So, the answer is 8;

Answer 7

list[3] is the element at index position 3, the quarter position, because in programming you start with the 0.
The first element would be list[0] and list[1] would be the second element.
exmple:
list = [h, e, l, l, o]
print(list[list[4]])

output: the O of the list
