IndexError: list index out of range and python

Question

I\'m telling my program to print out line 53 of an output. Is this error telling me that there aren\'t that many lines and therefore can not print it out?

Answer 1

Always keep in mind when you want to overcome this error, the default value of indexing and range starts from 0, so if total items is 100 then l[99] and range(99) will give you access up to the last element.

whenever you get this type of error please cross check with items that comes between/middle in range, and insure that their index is not last if you get output then you have made perfect error that mentioned above.

Answer 2

In Python, indexing starts at 0. Therefore, if you have a list with 53 items, list[52] will be the last item in the list.
