python - How to check if end of list was reached? -
if have list, a=[1,2,3]
, , want see if a[4] null
, there way that, without using exception or assertion?
len
tell length of list. quote docs:
len(s)
return length (the number of items) of object. argument may sequence
(string, tuple or list) or mapping (dictionary).
of course, if want final element in list
, tuple
, or string
, since indexes 0 based, , length of item element count, a[len(a)-1]
last item.
as aside, generally, proper way access last element in object allows numeric indexing (str, list, tuple, etc) using a[-1]
. obviously, not involve len
though.
