Hi, I am surprised that it took me so long to bloody my nose on this one.
It must be well known - and I would like to find out how well known. So here is a CLOSED BOOK multiple choice question - no RTFM, no playing at the interactive prompt: Given the following three lines of code at the interactive prompt: foo = [1,2,3,4] x = foo.append(5) print x What will be the output (choose one): 1) [1,2,3,4] 2) [1,2,3,4,5] 3) That famous picture of Albert Einstein sticking out his tongue 4) Nothing - no output 5) None of the above I undertake to summarise answers posted to complete this "survey". - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
