How about this?
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
print [x * 2 for x in numbers]

value is bound in the for loop, but none of that affects the list to
which numbers is bound.
One way:
IDLE 1.1.2 numbers = [1, 2, 3] numbers = [x * 2 for x in numbers] print numbers
[2, 4, 6]

1) Read http://www.effbot.org/zone/python-objects.htm and reread it
until you understand why your code doesn't work.
2) Use a list comprehension:
numbers = [ value*2 for value in numbers ]
-Carsten
As others have already posted, changing the value of 'value' has
nothing to do with the list variable 'numbers'. To modify the list in
place, you need to access its members by index. The following code
does this:
numbers = [1,2,3]
for i in range(len(numbe rs)):
numbers[i] *= 2
print numbers
But this is how a C or Java programmer would approach this task, and is
not very Pythonic.
A bit better is to use enumerate (avoids the ugly range(len(blah) )
looping):
numbers = [1,2,3]
for i,val in enumerate(numbe rs):
numbers[i] = val*2
This also modifies the list in place, so that if you are modifying a
very long (and I mean really quite long - long enough to question why
you are doing this in the first place) list, then this approach avoids
making two lists, one with the old value and one with the new.
But the most Pythonic is to use one of the list comprehension forms
already posted, such as:
numbers = [ x*2 for x in numbers ]

consider the following working loop where Packet is a subclass of
list, with Packet.insert(index, iterable) inserting each item in
iterable into Packet at consecutive indexes starting at index.
i=0
while(i<len(packet)-4):
if packet==Packet("01110"):
packet.insert(i, "01111")
i+=10 #skip the 5 bits inserted, and skip the 5 bits just
checked bc overlap should not trigger insertion

Ok, we are all aware of the situation where modifying the folder
structure (adding files, folders, deleting files, etc) will result in
ASP.NET triggering a recompilation/restart of the application.
In a nutshell, I understand how this can be considered desireable by
some, but I am not one of those people.
My situation is that we have a root site (hosted @ http://www.mydomain.com)
in the root application folder '/'.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
