Task Modify

What’s a Modify task?

In the modify tasks, you are given some starter code. Use the instructions below to make changes to the code. Comment your changes to explain what you have added.

Adapt the code to:

Add ‘Minecraft’ to the start of the list.
Ask the user to enter a number between 0 and 4 and store it in a variable. Output the item at this position in the list.
Ask the user to enter the name of a video game and store it in a variable.
- If this game is in the list then remove it from the list.
- If the game isn’t in the list then add it to the end of the list.

List Operations – Reference Table

Output item	Outputs a single item from the array.	print(arrayName[itemIndex]) print(sweets[3])
Edit item	Changes or replaces an item in an array.	arrayName[itemIndex] = New data sweets[1] = “Haribo”
Add an item	Puts a new item onto the end of the array	arrayName.append(new data) sweets.append(“Galaxy”)
Remove an item	Removes an item from the array	arrayName.pop(itemIndex) sweets.pop(2)
Output all items	Outputs every item in the array one by one using a loop.	for i in range(0, len(arrayName)): print(arrayName[i]) for i in range(0, len(sweets)): print(arrayName[i]) OR #This is a nice built in Python shortcut, but you need to know how to do the for loop version for the exam. print(sweets)

Help! My code doesn’t work

Make sure that you check for the following things:

The list name is identical everywhere it is used (capitals matter)
List index is surrounded by square brackets
List indexing starts at zero – are you counting properly?
