Inserting a string into a list of ints

Question

I have the following rule:

Create a function that receives a list of integers, and replaces the items as below:

• if Multiples of 3 = 'Fizz'
• multiples of 5 = 'Buzz'
• multiples of 3 and 5 = 'Fizzbuzz'

I created the program below:

    intList = list()
intList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28]
newlist=list()

def fizzbuzz( lista ):
   for item in lista:
       if item % 3 == 0 and item % 5 == 0:
           lista.remove(item)
           newlist.append(item) ='fizzbuzz'
       elif  item % 3 == 0:
           lista.remove(item)
           newlist.append(item) ='fizz'
       elif  item % 5 == 0:
           lista.remove(item)
           newlist.append(item)='buzz'
       else:
           newlist.append(item)=item


fizzbuzz(newlist)

But returns the following error:

C: Python27 my_scripts>for_loop.py File "C: Python27 my_scripts for_loop.py", line 15 newlist.append(item)='buzz' Syntaxerror: can’t assign to Function call

Any idea what I can do? At the end of the precise program displays the list of integers and strings.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I have no experience in Python, but I believe the four "append" calls are wrong. Try to change

newlist.append(item) ='fizzbuzz'

for

newlist.append('fizzbuzz')

Answer 2

Syntaxerror: can’t assign to Function call

This error is happening because you are trying to assign a value in a function call.

Ex:

newlist.append(item) ='fizzbuzz'

You are trying to assign a value in the function append.

As mentioned by @TNT, you have to change your syntax.

intList = list()
intList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28]
newlist=list()

def fizzbuzz( lista ):
   for item in lista:
       if item % 3 == 0 and item % 5 == 0:
           lista.remove(item)
           newlist.append('fizzbuzz')
       elif  item % 3 == 0:
           lista.remove(item)
           newlist.append('fizz')
       elif  item % 5 == 0:
           lista.remove(item)
           newlist.append('buzz')
       else:
           newlist.append(item)

fizzbuzz(intList)

print(newlist)
