Lists and Loops
Just like in music, where repetition and practice are key to mastering skills, understanding how to use lists and loops in Python is essential for efficient data handling and analysis. Whether you're managing a list of song titles or iterating through a playlist, mastering these concepts will significantly enhance your coding abilities.
In Python, a list is a versatile data structure that allows you to store multiple items in a single variable. Think of it as a playlist, where each song (or item) has a specific position. Lists are defined using square brackets []
, and items are separated by commas.

Lists are incredibly useful for organizing data, and you can easily access, modify, and iterate over their elements. For instance, you can access the first song in the list using an index:
playlist = ["Bohemian Rhapsody", "Imagine", "Stairway to Heaven"] first_song = playlist[0] print(first_song)
Loops in Python allow you to repeat a block of code multiple times. The most common type of loop is the for loop, which is perfect for iterating over lists.
This loop will print each song's title from the playlist
list. It's like announcing each song in a concert setlist.
playlist = ["Bohemian Rhapsody", "Imagine", "Stairway to Heaven"] for song in playlist: print(song)
You can also use loops to perform calculations or modify list elements. Imagine you have a list of track durations and want to calculate the total duration:
durations = [354, 183, 482] # durations in seconds total_duration = 0 for duration in durations: total_duration += duration print("Total Duration:", total_duration, "seconds")

Complete the filter_genres_by_length
function that filters a sorted list of track genres by popularity and returns the first max_to_return
genres with names longer than min_length
symbols. This function is useful for organizing and displaying genre information based on specific criteria.
Inputs:
genres
: A list of strings representing track genres, sorted by popularity.min_length
: An integer representing the minimum length of genre names to include.max_to_return
: An integer representing the maximum number of genres to return.
Steps:
-
Filter Genres: Iterate over the
genres
list and check if the length of each genre name is greater than or equal tomin_length
. If so, add it to the result list. -
Limit Results: Stop adding genres once the result list reaches the specified
max_to_return
length.
