Hello, I was reading Python Essential Reference by Beazley. It had the following example on nested lists
Quote:
a = [1,”Dave”,3.14, [“Mark”, 7, 9, [100,101]], 10]
a[1] # Retruns Dave
a[3][2] # Returns 9
a[3][3][1] # Returns 101


I just need to confirm something I am having trouble clarifying with the other docs I have found - I think maybe its too simple a question.

Could I reference 7 above with a[4] as well as a[3][1]? So again referring to the above example of a[3][3][1] returns 101 why couldn't it be referenced as a[6][1] or do I need a new [] to represent each nest in the list?

Finally could I negative reference a[-1] to equal 101 or does this create too much confusion ?
