Write a basic list comprehension

In this exercise, you will practice what you've learned from the video about writing list comprehensions. You will write a list comprehension and identify the output that will be produced.

The following list has been pre-loaded in the environment.

doctor = ['house', 'cuddy', 'chase', 'thirteen', 'wilson']

How would a list comprehension that produces a list of the first character of each string in doctor look like? Note that the list comprehension uses doc as the iterator variable. What will the output be?

Possible Answers

The list comprehension is [for doc in doctor: doc[0]] and produces the list ['h', 'c', 'c', 't', 'w'].
