Arrays

[Garland Fulton]

At the top of the last post I didn't understand how I was supposed to have
my e mail headers or my quotes formatted.

I also would like to change the header to my e mail thread. To <LIST NOT
ARRAY>

I appolpgize and thank you for clearing up my thinking. I just got  done
with a java class and I should have paid more attention.

Now that I went back and reviewed.

array[]    // in java
Is not the same as
list[]       // in python.

I will go back and try my way again.

I have a list of objects built to form numbers given to me already. I would
like to take the list apart iterate over each component and replace it with
the corresponding number, and put it back together again everytime I call
that number(str object) to be printed from my list.

To clear my goals up I don't want to be a bad to this e mail list.

Thank you,

Slie
