a = [[1,1],[3,1.5],[5,0]]
for i in range(len(a)) :
if a[i][1] > a[i-1][1] :
print 'greater !!'
else:
print "smaller"
greater !!
greater !!
smaller
Thanks for taking the time to help me Aditya. I tried the code but have encountered a problem. In this new list,
[1, 1]
[3, 1.5]
[5, 0]
only the second and third "greater" and "smaller" output are correct as 1.5 is larger than 1 and 0 is smaller than 1.5. What is i[1] greater than?
I also tried using + for next item instread, but that produced an error. Why?
if a[i][1] > a[i+1][1]
