Question

This is a homework.
I’m not looking for answers, just a nudge into the right direction.

Given a list:

['The Boy','1:34','Let go','4:21','Wherever to', '5:30']

I want to be able to sort the list by pairs:

[['The Boy','1:34']['Let go','4:21']['Wherever to', '5:30']]

Answer 1

Difficult without knowing which parts of Python you have been taught so far, but here are some steps that may help

>>> ['The Boy','1:34','Let go','4:21','Wherever to', '5:30'][::2]
['The Boy', 'Let go', 'Wherever to']
>>> ['The Boy','1:34','Let go','4:21','Wherever to', '5:30'][1::2]
['1:34', '4:21', '5:30']
>>> zip(['The Boy', 'Let go', 'Wherever to'], ['1:34', '4:21', '5:30'])
[('The Boy', '1:34'), ('Let go', '4:21'), ('Wherever to', '5:30')]

You should use some variables instead of repeating the list over and over of course
