Question

I want to replace a sub-list from list a, with another sub-list. Something like this:

a=[1,3,5,10,13]

Lets say I want to take a sublist like:

a_sub=[3,5,10]

and replace it with

b_sub=[9,7]

so the final result will be

print(a) 
>>> [1,9,7,13]

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

In [39]: a=[1,3,5,10,13]

In [40]: sub_list_start = 1

In [41]: sub_list_end = 3

In [42]: a[sub_list_start : sub_list_end+1] = [9,7]

In [43]: a
Out[43]: [1, 9, 7, 13]

Hope that helps
