Question

I can't seem for figure out how to return a list. (This is for Assignment 3 problem 2). Can someone write out the code for this?

Answer 1

def subStringMatchExact(target,key):
x=1
n=0
list=[]
while n<len(target):
if find(target,key,n)!=-1:
list=list+[find(target,key,n)]
n=find(target,key,n)+1
else:n=n+1
return list

Answer 2

Ok, I did this. However, I can't use the list. In other words, when I ask Python to print list, I get <type 'list'> and it just types the string. I thought the whole idea was to be able to use the returned values in the rest of the program. I can't seem to do this.

Answer 3

okay, maybe list wasn't the best variable to use. You need to print subStringMatchExact(target,string), not print list

Answer 4

OK, that worked. thanks.
