Reassigning in list

Question

I am trying to reassign 'hello' with 'goodbye' in the list, but the reassigning is happening at incorrect positions

Using Jupyter Notebook

list3 = [1,2,[3,4,'hello']]
 
list3[2][2]= 'goodbye'
list3
[1, 'goodbye', [3, 4, 'goodbye']]

I am gettig the above result. I only want to reassign 'hello'.

It could happen in some other situations where you have multiple references to the same list. But not in the code you showed. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/240178/list-of-lists-changes-reflected-across-sublists-unexpectedly — Barmar, Jun 12 '21 at 05:37

I tried the code from my side.

But the results are very good.

list3 = [1,2,[3,4,'hello']]

list3[2][2]= 'goodbye'

print(list3)

Result

[1,2,[3,4,'goodbye']]

So I think you should post all your code unless it's the private code.

Then I will review and reply again.

Thank you, I will try to repeat with a new list and see what happens and will let you know. – Drishanu Dey Jun 13 '21 at 07:53
