list index out of range
#4
There are several ways to resolve indexerror in Python. It is not recommended to access the list or an array in any programming by using a hardcoded index value. It often leads to an exception, instead use one of the below best practices.
  • Use len() function before accessing list
    Use for loop with ‘in’ to print out list elements
    for loop with range() is better way to even access list elements and print them

Checkout an article list index out of range for more details

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10]
index = 3
if index < len(numbers):
    print(numbers[index])
