Create an empty list in python with certain size

Question

I want to create an empty list (or whatever is the best way) that can hold 10 elements.

After that I want to assign values in that list, for example this is supposed

Answer 1

Try this instead:

lst = [None] * 10

The above will create a list of size 10, where each position is initialized to None. After that, you can add elements to it:

lst = [None] * 10
for i in range(10):
    lst[i] = i

Admittedly, that's not the Pythonic way to do things. Better do this:

lst = []
for i in range(10):
    lst.append(i)

Or even simpler, in Python 2.x you can do this to initialize a list with values from 0 to 9:

lst = range(10)

And in Python 3.x:

lst = list(range(10))
