New submission from Ritvik S <ritvikse...@gmail.com>:
I had a problem running the following code. When I ran through what I thought python was supposed to do, I got a different answer than what python did. I think this is an error. Here is the code: problem_ary = [['a','b','c'],['d','e','f'],['g','h','i']] normal_ary = ['a','b','c'] print(normal_ary[:]) #should print ['a','b','c'] print(problem_ary[:][1]) The second output should be ['b','e','h'] since the print statement tells python to take [0][1],[1][1], and [2][1] from the problem_ary which is 'b','e','h'. It confused me when python instead returned ['d','e','f']. I came across this problem when I was trying to create tic-tac-toe in python. I tried coding this is Python 3.8, 3.9, and using an online interpreter, and I got the same result every time. ---------- files: 2D-Array-Problem.py messages: 408671 nosy: ritviksetty priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: 2D array issue type: behavior versions: Python 3.8, Python 3.9 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file50498/2D-Array-Problem.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46093> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
