Moving Places, Subtracting from slices/lists

Hi All,

playing around with the tut now. How can I get this code to remove the
original instance of 'roof'.?
hotcat = ['Cat', 'roof', 'on', 'a', 'hot', 'tin']
for x in hotcat[:]: .... if x == 'roof': hotcat.insert(6 ,x)
.... hotcat ['Cat', 'roof', 'on', 'a', 'hot', 'tin', 'roof']

Perhaps a replace or something after the 2nd line of the for function.? hotcat = ['Cat', 'roof', 'on', 'a', 'hot', 'tin']
for x in hotcat[:]:

.... if x == 'roof': hotcat.insert(6 ,x)
.... hotcat[x:len(x)] = []
....
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 3, in ?
TypeError: slice indices must be integers

I feel I'm close to it.

Cheers.

Mark Sargent.

Can anyone explain the logic behind the behavior of list slicing with negative strides? For example: >>> print range(10) I found this result very surprising, and would just like to see the rules written down somewhere. Thanks,

Why does slicing a tuple returns a new tuple instead of a view of the existing one, given that tuples are immutable ? I ended up writing a custom ImmutableSequence class that does this, but I wonder why it is not implemented for tuples. George

Firstly, sorry for the long post, but I've included a fair bit of sample data. Im doing a comparision of 10yr Bond prices and CPI adjustments, with an 18 week moving average of the CPI. I'm using a nested sub-query to calculate the moving average, but I'm having difficulty selecting exactly 18 data points (ie When I include the 'HAVING COUNT(C1.Closes) = 18' line, I get no results). Can anyone help?

The following is part of the explanation on slices in the tutorial: The best way to remember how slices work is to think of the indices as pointing between characters, with the left edge of the first character numbered 0. Then the right edge of the last character of a string of n characters has index n, for example: +---+---+---+---+---+ | H | e | l | p | A |

That xpairs() generator is nice, but it's not the best possible code What do you mean by best possible? Most efficient? Most readable? And why don't you use islice? eg: def xpairs(seq): len_seq = len(seq) for i, e1 in enumerate(seq):

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
