Question

Please fix printlist function so it would print out this list

a = [1, 5, 3, 6]
b = [3, 5, 3, 2, 4, 6, 8, 5, 2]
def printList(list):
for i in range(9):
print(list[i])
print("End of list")
printList(a)
printList(b)
expected output: __________

Answer 1

The printList function in the code has been corrected to iterate over the actual length of the passed list to handle lists of different sizes, ensuring it prints all elements correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The code provided in the question attempts to print every element of two lists, a and b. However, there is a problem with the printList function; it uses a static range of 9, which is not suitable for lists of different lengths. To fix the function, we need to make it dynamic by iterating over the length of the list passed as an argument. Here's the corrected function:

def printList(list):
for i in range(len(list)):
print(list[i])
print("End of list")
Now, when you call printList(a), it will print all elements in list a, and then when you call printList(b), it will print all elements in list b, regardless of their lengths.
