python list assignment index,在Python中初始化列表的第一个索引

I am converting something I wrote in C++ to Python. Here is a snippet of what I am trying to rewrite in python:

std::vector dates(numberOfPayments.size(), 0);

dates[0] = NDD[0] - '0';

for (int i = 1; i < dates.size(); ++i)

{

dates[i] = (dates[i - 1] + 12 - numberOfPayments[i - 1]) % 12;

}

The problem I am having is that I cannot set the first index of my list in python to something. I try this:

dates = []

dates[0] = NDD_month[0]

for i in range(len(first_payments)):

dates[i] = (dates[i-1] + 12 - first_payments[i-1]) % 12

print(dates)

But I get this error:

IndexError: list assignment index out of range

Anyone know how to fix this?

解决方案

You're having this problem because you're trying to access a index that was not allocated yet.

To append things to a list you should use append (edited to fix loop):

dates = []

dates.append(NDD_month[0])

for i in range(1, len(first_payments)):

dates.append((dates[i-1] + 12 - first_payments[i-1]) % 12)

print(dates)
