Python - How to change values in a list of lists?

Question

I have a list of lists, each list within the list contains 5 items, how do I change the values of the items in the list? I have tried the following:

    for [ite         


        

Answer 1

Variable unpacking does not seem to pass the reference but copies the values. An solution would be to do it like this:

foo = [[1, "gggg"], [3, "zzzz"]]

for item in foo:
    item[0] = 2
    item[1] = "ffff"

print(foo)

>>>> [[2, 'ffff'], [2, 'ffff']]
