Hi,
this happens because you have specified wrong index number here is the example of how this error are raised:
alphabet=[‘a’,’b’,’c’];print(alphabet[3])
IndexError: list index out of range
in above example we want to to print the last element in the list which is (‘c’), but we have passed the wrong index number because the correct one is print(alphabet[2]).
that’s because list index starts with 0 not with 1
This example have been taken from this article here
you can refer to it for better understanding.
I hope this will help you.
