hi everybody, I have written a code to check which is the lowest value in a list .... my list: ['94', 'A_16_P03647505', '-59', '42', 'A_16_P41573860', '-44', '513', 'A_16_P41573861', '-44', '66', 'A_16_P41573862', '-44', '327', 'A_16_P03647506', '-46', '77', 'A_16_P41573864', '-59', '52', 'A_16_P03647507', '-59', '307', 'A_16_P41573865', '-59', '111', 'A_16_P03647508', '-59', '167', 'A_16_P41573867', '-48', '223', 'A_16_P03647509', '-45', '124', 'A_16_P41573869', '-54', '206', 'A_16_P03647510', '-59', '52', 'A_16_P41573870', '-52', '549', 'A_16_P03647511', '-59', '2976'] mycode: res_value = [] fh = open('test','r') for line in fh.readlines(): data = line.strip().split('\t') current_span = data[3].strip() probe = data[2].strip() length = data[4].strip() res_value.append(current_span) res_value.append(probe) res_value.append(length) #omplete_dataset.append(res_value) fh.close() for k in range(0,len(res_value),3): check = res_value[k:k+4] if check[0] < check[4]: print check error: File "app.py", line 16, in <module> if check[0] < check[4]: IndexError: list index out of range i get an error like this how do i sort the error out to get result
