Code Studio: Letters and Vectors

Courses & Programs Help

Build on Practice: Vectors, Challenge 1.

Make a vector x with the numbers 1 through 26.
Multiply it by 2.
Name its elements A through Z using the built-in vector LETTERS.
The program reads one capital letter from the Input tab. Print the value stored under that name, using x[[letter]].

For an input of C, the output is 6.

Bonus to try with Run: what's the difference between x["C"] and x[["C"]] when you print them?
