can you give an example of what you're trying to do exactly?

append works the exact same whether or not it's in a loop

[gentle monolith]

the syntax for appending is list_name.append(thing_to_append)

there's a lot of other stuff wrong here. You have no indentation, you're trying to index an int, you're needlessly converting a list into a list, you aren't returning

[modest oracle]

ok i need to re think the whole thing right

[gentle monolith]

This doesn't give me any sense about what you know about python already so it's hard to guide you and your code in its current state

[modest oracle]

so if i want to append to another list i just put nums.append(evens)

[gentle monolith]

think about what each variable represents

evens and nums are both lists

do you want to append a list into a list?

[modest oracle]

ahh ok it needs to be evens.append(r), kinda right

[gentle monolith]

what is r?

[modest oracle]

like this

[gentle monolith]

you still have no indentation in your code

you need to be able to run your own code to test it

[modest oracle]

ok but i dont clearly understand wat your meaning by indention

[gentle monolith]

indentation is the spaces at the start of the lines. They are needed by python to determine what block of logic your code belongs to

for i in range(10):
print(i)

for i in range(10):
    print(i)

[deep heart]

!indent

oh it has a cooldown

[gentle monolith]

This first example will not run, it will error. Are you testing your code as you go?

[modest oracle]

ok i am understanding

like this

[gentle monolith]

this looks the same as before

you have no indentation on any lines

[modest oracle]

no i moved the print 1 tab back

[gentle monolith]

maybe it's pasting weird?

Where are you writing your code?

[modest oracle]

here

[deep heart]

tha hell OS is that

[deep heart]

indentation looks correct

[modest oracle]

bro wat

[gentle monolith]

yeah, I guess the way you're pasting it here is removing the indentation for some reason

everything looks ok except you need to return the list, not print it

(also it should be after the loop, not inside it)

#Question 1:
#Write a function that takes a list of numbers and returns a new list containing only the even numbers.

nums = [12, 45, 6, 68, 77, 98, 90]

def check_evens(nums):
evens = []
for i in list(nums):
if i % 2 == 0:
evens.append(i)
return evens

r = check_evens(nums)
print(r)

Hey @modest oracle!

Please edit your message to use a code block

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

[modest oracle]

tack så mycket

[gentle monolith]

Do you understand what i is doing here?

[modest oracle]

for real i dont know and am just trying to build the problrm solving skill

i have been doing this like for a week now

[mighty light]

💔

Windows 7

[modest oracle]

bruh

linux

[mighty light]

Your mint look ahh

😭

[modest oracle]

bro am just getting it this things bro have mercy, but linux is linux bro

[mighty light]

Ok

[gentle monolith]

problem solving comes from understanding exactly what the tools are doing

!e

shopping = ['apples', 'milk', 'bread', 'eggs']
for item in shopping:
    print(item)

[tiny epoch]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.13 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | apples
002 | milk
003 | bread
004 | eggs

[modest oracle]

something to note ,i should always understand both the tools and the problem

[gentle monolith]

a for loop lets you access every element of an iterable (like a list)

[gentle monolith]

yes exactly

[modest oracle]

ok ,thanks

[gentle monolith]

so here I'm using a for loop to access everything inside the shopping list, and I've assigned item to the loop

so as it goes through, item will be every item within the list

[modest oracle]

so its like a variable to acces the things in the list

you know from ai i thought that i is the only thing to use

[gentle monolith]

I really recommend not using ai as a beginner

the variable name does not matter, just any variable name

!e

shopping = ['apples', 'milk', 'bread', 'eggs']
for blahblah in shopping:
    print(blahblah)

[tiny epoch]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.13 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | apples
002 | milk
003 | bread
004 | eggs

[modest oracle]

i get thank you so much for the knowledge
