Question

I have a list of websites in a string and I was doing a for loop to add “http” in the front if the first index is not “h” but when I return it, the list did not change.

n is my list of websites
h is “http”

for p in n:
    if p[0]!="h":
        p= h+ p
    else:
        continue
return n

when i return the list, it returns my original list and with no appending of the “http”. Can somebody help me?

Answer 1

This could also be done using list comprehension:

n = [i if i.startswith('h') else 'http' + i for i in n]
