[Tutor] question about lists and doctest

[Roelof Wobben]

hello, 

 

I have this programm 

 

#  Add your doctests here:
"""
  >>> a_list[3]
  42
  >>> a_list[6]
  'Ni!'
  >>> len(a_list)
  8
"""
a_list = ['test', 'test','test',42,'test','test','Ni!','test']
print a_list[3]
print a_list[6]
print len(a_list)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import doctest
    doctest.testmod()

 

If I change lets say 42 to 16 then the doctest fails with 

 

Expecting 

 

42 

 

Got 

 

16.

 

 

How does doctest now which values are right or not ?

 

Roelof
