Question about a list

I have made a list using the following code

Code:

list = []
for locn in range(10):
	i=0
	list.append(i)

This obviously makes a new list with 10 values of integer 0 in it.

What I am trying to do now is replace those values with 10 values of integer 99 instead. I tried the code below but that just seems to add them on the end instead.

Code:

for locn in range(10):
	i=99
	list1.append(i)

How do I overwrite these values???

Cheers

You could also just say:

Python Code:

Original - Python Code
L = [0] * 10

L = [0] * 10

or replace “0” with anything you want to repeat in the list.
