This code defines a function that modifies a list by incrementing each of its elements by 1. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Function Definition (
increase
):- Input: The function accepts a list
x
as its argument. - Inside the function, a
for
loop iterates through the indices of the listx
usingrange(len(x))
. - Each element in the list
x
is incremented by 1 (x[i] += 1
). - The modified list
x
is returned as the output of the function.
- Input: The function accepts a list
-
Input List and Function Call:
- A list
my_list = [10, 20, 30]
is defined. - The
increase
function is called withmy_list
as the argument (result_list = increase(my_list)
).
Important Note: Since lists in Python are mutable, the function works on the original list (
my_list
). Therefore,my_list
itself is modified in-place. - A list
-
Printing an Element:
- After modifying
my_list
through theincrease
function, the second element ofmy_list
(my_list[1]
) is printed.
- After modifying
Output:
- The original list
my_list = [10, 20, 30]
is modified in-place to[11, 21, 31]
. my_list[1]
, which is now21
, is printed.
Final Output:
21
