Making a list from the elements of multiple lists (numbers)

Question

I am struggling to select individual elements from a list into their own list

I want to select the first element from list(a) and the first element if list(b) into list(c)

a = [1,2,3] b = [4,5,6]

I want c = [1,4]

I have been trying this using code

Game_Pool = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]

First_Values = Game_Pool[0:4] Last_Values = Game_Pool[-4:-1]

Comb_01 = (First_Values[0] + Last_Values[0])

I need Comb_01 = [1,5]

thankyou in advance

Answer 1

Since you know what indices you want to retrieve, you can just splice the lists and join them with +.

Comb_01=First_Values[0:1]+Last_Values[1:2]

gives

[1,5]

or

a[0:1]+b[0:1]

gives

[1,4]
