TypeError: 'list' object is not callable in python

Question

I am novice to Python and following a tutorial. There is an example of list in the tutorial :

example = list(\'easyhoss\')

Now

Answer 1

In the league of stupid Monday morning mistakes, using round brackets instead of square brackets when trying to access an item in the list will also give you the same error message:

l=[1,2,3]

print(l[2])#GOOD
print(l(2))#BAD

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
