Variables in list index numbers

[babybigfox]

Part of the code for my astro pi project contains a pickle which saves data about users. How would I specify an index number using a variable? Here's an example of my code

Code: Select all

data = [ A, B, C ]
person = 1
print(data[person])

This should print B.
Any help?
Thanks

With a tiny modification to you code, it now prints B. You were using the correct syntax for indexing in to a list but A, B and C had not been defined a printable items.

Code: Select all

data = [ 'A','B', 'C' ]
person = 1
print(data[person])

Thanks. What about:

Code: Select all

person = 1
usertemp = [ '0',  '1', '2' ]
ap.show_message('Temperature:' + usertemp[person])

That code should run ok unless there is something wrong with the ap.show_message function.
