not being able to use slicing, parallel list and built-in functions startled me

[frozen jungle]

is there a typo in the first example? Why did the 4 turn into a 3?

[hardy yoke]

oh yeah, the the 3 in the second line is supposed to be 4 i guess

[spiral nova]

there's 2 (sane) ways you can go about this, store the values you want to swap in two variables (and then repeat this for each swap you want to perform), use the variables to change the values at the respective indexes
(or)
use a neat little trick that allows you to swap the value of two things like so x, y = y, x

that aside, any other parts of the question are you struggling with?

[vernal folio]

what do they mean by parallel list

you're not allowed to keep a second list variable?

[spiral nova]

you're not allowed a second list

yes

you have to do the changes in place
