* Write Python code using lists.

## Introductory Problem

Assign the variables youtube1, youtube2, youtube3, youtube4, youtube5 to the values 10, 23, 13, 15, 11 respectively.  The values represent the minutes you spent watching YouTube each day of this week.

Print the value of the sum and average of these variables.

{% code title="intro.py" %}

```python
done = False
while not done:
    print("Menu")
    print("I - Introduction")
    print("Q - Quit")
    choice = input("Choice: ")
    if choice == "I":
        print("Introductory Problem")
        youtube1 = 10
        youtube2 = 23
        youtube3 = 13
        youtube4 = 15
        youtube5 = 11
        sum = youtube1 + youtube2 + youtube3 + youtube4 + youtube 5
        average = sum / 5
        print("Sum:",sum)
        print("Average:",average)
    elif choice == "Q":
        print("Exiting Game!")
        done = True
```

{% endcode %}

## Examples

### Example 1

Rewrite your Do Now code as a list named youtube.   Where in your code should you place your list? Before the while loop, inside the while loop or after the while loop?  Why?

* Using a for loop, print the index and elements of youtube.  Use the header:

&#x20;       print("Index\tElement")

* Create another for loop and just print out the elements.

{% code title="" %}

```python
done = False
youtube = [10,23,13,15,11]
while not done:
    print("Menu")
    print("E1 - Example 1")
    print("Q - Quit")
    choice = input("Choice: ")
    if choice == "E1":
        print("Index\tElement")
        for i in youtube:
            print(i,"\t",youtube[i])    
    elif choice == "Q":
        print("Exiting Game!")
        done = True
```

{% endcode %}

### **Example 2**

Print the maximum, minimum and sum of youtube.

{% code title="" %}

```python
done = False
youtube = [10,23,13,15,11]
while not done:
    print("Menu")
    print("E2 - Example 2")
    print("Q - Quit")
    choice = input("Choice: ")
    if choice == "E2":
        print("Max:",max(youtube))    
        print("Min:",min(youtube))
        print("Sum:",sum(youtube))   
    elif choice == "Q":
        print("Exiting Game!")
        done = True
```

{% endcode %}

### **Example 3**

Print the first element of youtube.  Print the last element of youtube.

```python
done = False
youtube = [10,23,13,15,11]
while not done:
    print("Menu")
    print("E3 - Example 3")
    print("Q - Quit")
    choice = input("Choice: ")
    if choice == "E3":
        print("First Element:",youtube[0])    
        last = len(youtube) - 1
        print("Last Element:",youtube[last])   
    elif choice == "Q":
        print("Exiting Game!")
        done = True
```

### **Example 4**

Ask the user for a number to search.   If the number is in the list, print "Number is in the list".  Else print "Number is not in the list".

{% code title="" %}

```python
done = False
youtube = [10,23,13,15,11]
while not done:
    print("Menu")
    print("E3 - Example 3")
    print("Q - Quit")
    choice = input("Choice: ")
    if choice == "E4":
        num = int(input("Number to search: "))
        if num in youtube:
            print(num,"is in the list")
        else:
            print(num,"is not in the list")  
    elif choice == "Q":
        print("Exiting Game!")
        done = True
```

{% endcode %}

### **Example 5**

Write code that performs the following tasks:

* Add the element 20 in the beginning of the list. &#x20;
* Remove the last element of the list.
* Add the element 30 in the third position of the list. &#x20;
* Add the element 50 to the end of the list.
* Using a for loop, print the index and elements of the list. &#x20;

{% code title="" %}

```python
done = False
youtube = [10,23,13,15,11]
while not done:
    print("Menu")
    print("E5 - Example 5")
    print("Q - Quit")
    choice = input("Choice: ")
    if choice == "E3":
        youtube.insert(0,20)
        youtube.pop()
        youtube.insert(2,30)
        youtube.append(50)
        print("Index\tElement")
        for i in range(len(youtube)):
            print(i,"\t",youtube[i])  
    elif choice == "Q":
        print("Exiting Game!")
        done = True
```

{% endcode %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://www.pythonclassroom.com/lists/lists-numbers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
