But that's wrong! Names (little boxes) can't point to *slots in a list*, any more than they can point to other names! This doesn't work:--> L = [None, 42, None] --> a = L[0] --> L[0] = 23 --> print(a) # This doesn't work! 23
Minor nitpick -- having a comment saying "this doesn't work" then having output showing that it does is confusing. I had to load up the interpretor to make sure I was confused! ;)
