[Solved] Storing lists within lists in Python

Question

Your list is separated into values.

# movies: values
0. "The Holy Grail"
1. 1975
2. "Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam"
3. 91
4. ["Graham Champman", ["Michael Palin", "John Cleese", "Terry Gilliam", "Eric Idle", "Terry Jones"]]

/!\ The index begin from 0

The last value is also separated into values:

# movies[4]: values
0. "Graham Champman"
1. ["Michael Palin", "John Cleese", "Terry Gilliam", "Eric Idle", "Terry Jones"]

And the last value is also separated into other values:

# movies[4][1]: values
0. "Michael Palin",
1. "John Cleese"
2. "Terry Gilliam"
3. "Eric Idle"
4. "Terry Jones"

So calling movies[4] returns the last element of movies:

["Graham Champman", ["Michael Palin", "John Cleese", "Terry Gilliam", "Eric Idle", "Terry Jones"]]

Typing movies[4][1] returns this:

["Michael Palin", "John Cleese", "Terry Gilliam", "Eric Idle", "Terry Jones"]

And typing movies[4][1][3] returns that:

"Eric Idle"
