Create a list of 100 integers whose values equal their indexes

Create a list of 100 integers whose value and index are the same, e.g.

mylist[0] = 0, mylist[1] = 1, mylist[2] = 2, ...

Here is my code.

x_list=[]

def list_append(x_list):
    for i in 100:
        x_list.append(i)

        return(list_append())
    print(x_list)

import random
data1=[]
def f(x):
    return(random.randrange(0,1000))
for x in range (0,100):
    data1.append(f(x))

Also can use List Comprehensions, like

[x for x in range(100)]

If you want to import numpy you could do something like this:

import numpy as np

x_list = np.arange(0, 100).tolist()

Should work in python2.7 and python3.x

Since nobody else realised you're using Python 3, I'll point out that you should be doing list(range(100)) to get the wanted behaviour.

You can use range(100), but it seems that you are probably looking to make the list from scratch, so there you can use while:

x_list=[]
i = 0
while i<100:
    x_list.append(i)
    i += 1

Or you could do this recursively:

def list_append(i, L):
    L.append(i)
    if i==99:
        return L
    list_append(i+1, L)

x_list = []
list_append(0, x_list)
print x_list

Use range() for generating such a list

>>> range(10)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> range(10)[5]
5

for i in 100 doesn't do what you think it does. int objects are not iterable, so this won't work. The for-loop tries to iterate through the object given.

If you want to get a list of numbers between 0-100, use range():

for i in range(100):
    dostuff()

The answer to your question is pretty much range(100) anyway:

>>> range(100)[0]
0
>>> range(100)[64]
64
