[Tutor] Is this correct syntax for what I want?

[Alan Gauld]

Nathan,

Can you show us an example of the data?
And what you want to do to it, ie before and after values.

Its not clear to me whether you want to add the number to the
number while keeping it in the tuple (Which is impossible
because tuples are immutable) or whether you simply want
to access the data to use in an addition/subrtraction storing
the result elsewhere (which is perfectly possible)

I want to be able to add and subtract from a number in a tuple in a 
list. Is this the correct syntax?

letterlist[x] = letterlist[x] + amount # for addition

letterlist[x] = letterlist[x] - amount # for subtraction

If this is not correct, what is the correct syntax?

Thanks,
Nathan Pinno
