[Tutor] changing char list to int list isn't working

[Bhanu Pratap Singh]

Hi Jim,
When you replace num = int(num); it's not changing a list.
Due to It only pick a value from a list.
You have to pointing to list so,
You have to use list[position] using while loop like below

listOfNumChars = list(str(intNum))
i = 0
while i < len(listOfNumChars):
	listOfNumChars[i] = int(listOfNumChars[i])
	i += 1

print(listOfNumChars)

#--> [4, 5, 5] (if you entered 455)


Best,
Bhanu Pratap

I'm turning an integer into a string so I can make a list of separate chars, then turn those chars back into individual ints, but the resulting list still looks like string chars when I print it. What am I doing wrong?


listOfNumChars = list(str(intNum))
for num in listOfNumChars:
    num = int(num)

print(listOfNumChars)

# result of 455 entered is ['4', '5', '5']
