How to get the last item of a list in python

Question

I started learning python a few day ago

I tried to make program of anime watchlist. I tested to include also adding new ones but when I’m trying to print out a new, added one, I am only getting a letter. How I can get a full text? There’s code

anime_list = ["one piece","fullmetal alchemist", "my hero academia", "oregairu", "jojo", "jujutsu kaisen"]

a_o_s = input ("What do you want to do ('add anime' or 'what I should watch?')n")

if a_o_s == "add anime":
    anime_list = input ("What anime do you want to add?n")
    print("thank you " + anime_list[anime_list -1] + " is added")

I tried too to just print every letter from the start of a name to an end but it doesn’t work either

anime_list = ["one piece","fullmetal alchemist", "my hero academia", "oregairu", "jojo", "jujutsu kaisen"]

a_o_s = input ("What do you want to do ('add anime' or 'what I should watch?')n")

if a_o_s == "add anime":
    anime_list = input ("What anime do you want to add?n")
    n_w = anime_list.count
    print("thank you " + anime_list[n_w:-1] + " is added")

Is there any way to do it?

thank you

Answer 1

When you do anime_list = input ("What anime do you want to add?n") you redefine anime_list. Now it’s not a list anymore but a string (the return value from input). You have to append the data to the list. The last element can be accessed at index -1.

anime_list = ["one piece", "fullmetal alchemist", "my hero academia", "oregairu", "jojo", "jujutsu kaisen"]
anime_list.append(input("What anime do you want to add?n"))
print(f"thank you, {anime_list[-1]} was added")

Answer 2

when you want to get the last item of a list you can simply write name_of_your_list[-1] so for this instance you can do:

anime_list[-1]

which will give you the last item in the list
