Hello experts,
I am having trouble accessing the content of my list.
my list content has 2-pair value with the exception of one which has single 
value. here is an example  ['a', 1, 'b', 1, 'c', 3, 'd']
I am unable to iterate through list to access invidual value pairs I get an error message saying ' the list should more than 1 value pairs'. I guess because 'd' has no value. How do I solve this problem? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Sammy
The real answer is to figure out how it gets into that state. Is the input file invalid? Or you have a device that sometimes skips one?

But if you're stuck with the data in that list:

If the list is of odd size, truncate it. Then your loop should not run into an uneven pair.

Of course if you actually posted the code, or even the real and complete error message, we might be able to make other suggestions.
