python - ValueError: not in the list

Question

I am a beginner in Python and I am having some trouble getting the index from a list.

Here is my code:

color=['red','green' ,'yellow' , 'blue', 'grey']
gg=random.sample(color, 1)
print(gg)
jj=(farba.index(gg))

What I'm getting:

['green']
ValueError: ['green'] is not in list

Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

gg is a list, not a string. The list ['green'] is not in color, the string 'green' is. Try using random.choice() instead of sample().
