I need to know these things; may someone help me out?
1) a function which returns the number of elements in a list
2) a function which takes a list and an index and returns a zero when that
list index is out of range.
I want to continue appending things to a list until the list reaches a
specific size. For example:
while (list_size(list)<10):
list.append("something")
anyone know of a "list size" function? It has to be out there..hehe, i'm
just really green at python. If I knew #2, I could build the function
myself, but #1 is preferable.
Help!
