Python error - list index out of range?

Question

Anyone help me see why I keep getting "list index out of range" as an error ??

def printInfo(average):
    average.sort()  # sorts the list of tuples 
    average.reverse()  # reverses the list of tuples 
    print('	Date		Average Price')
    for i in range(6):
        print("	{:.2f}".format(average[i][2], average[i][1], average[i][0]))

Answer 1

You hard coded the range of your loop and it is probably greater than the length of the list

A quick fix is

def printInfo(average):
    average.sort()  # sorts the list of tuples 
    average.reverse()  # reverses the list of tuples 
    print('	Date		Average Price')
    for i in range(len(average)): #Change was here
        print("	{:.2f}".format(average[i][2], average[i][1], average[i][0]))

however, a better fix is to use iteration:

def printInfo(average):
    average.sort()  # sorts the list of tuples 
    average.reverse()  # reverses the list of tuples 
    print('	Date		Average Price')
    for a in average: # loops through each item of average
        print("	{:.2f}".format(a[2], a[1], a[0]))
