How do slice a list within a lists ?

periodic_table_list = [["Ac", "Actinium", 227],["Ag", "Silver", 107.8682],["Al", "Aluminum", 26.9815386]]

I want store Code in one variable, Name in one variable and then the figure in another variable.

#Thnx guys i finally figured it out
#create indexes of element in the inner lists code = 0
name = 1
mass = 2
periodic_table_list = [["Ac", "Actinium", 227],["Ag", "Silver", 107.8682],["Al", "Aluminum", 26.9815386]]
for inner_list in periodic_table_list :
element_name = inner_lists [1]
print (f"{element_name}"

What's "Code", "Name" and "figure"? You didn't explain them. – Mechanic Pig Jun 02 '22 at 11:59
What have you tried so far? – matszwecja Jun 02 '22 at 11:59
It's a bit unclear what your requirements on wanting to store each elements of the list in variables means, you might want to clarify it. Regarding slicing a list within a list, it's the same as slicing just a list, but you get the individual list like for example `periodic_table_list [0][start_index:end_index]` to slice them. – Xascoria Dung Jun 02 '22 at 11:59

Something like `code, name, figure = zip(*periodic_table_list)`? – ayhan Jun 02 '22 at 11:59
