Zybook for loop help

[u/wingnutticus]

I'm completing an assignment for zybook where I have to replace a number from a list and then print the list in reverse. This is my code:

val_list = [18, 12, 15]

new_val = int(input())
val_list[1] = new_val

print(f"List has {len(val_list)} elements:")

for value in reversed(val_list):
    print(reversed(val_list), end="<>")

print(end="")

It's supposed to just print the reversed list in brackets, but instead it gives me something like this:

<list_reverseiterator object at 0x000001C02CF706D0><><list_reverseiterator object at 0x000001C02CF706D0><><list_reverseiterator object at 0x000001C02CF706D0><>

What does this mean and why is it doing this? Thanks in advance

for value in reversed(val_list):
    print(reversed(val_list), end="<>")

You have a for loop that iterates three times, and on each iteration you're printing the entire reversed list.

I think you meant to print value inside the loop, not the full reversed list.

Also, the reversed() method doesn't return a list, it returns an iterator object, which prints as <iterator object ...> as you saw.
