TypeError list indices must be integers or slices not str

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new to python. I am trying to run one python code. But I am getting the below error.

list1 = ['Apple','Banana', 'Oranges']
index = '1'
print('Value at List Index 1', list1[index])

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "list-error.py", line 5, in <module>
    print('Value at List Index 1', list1[index])
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

Hi@akhtar,

As we know that the index of every list is an integer, and in your example, you have declared the index value as a string. So you need to change the code as shown below.

list1 = ['Apple','Banana', 'Oranges']
index = 1
print('Value at List Index 1', list1[index])
