to change value from 0 to 1 in a list of zeroes

n and k are user inputs, L is a list of zeroes.
if k is even, change the value to 1 of even indexes.
if k is odd, change the value to 1 of odd indexes.

but the output is just ones

[‘1′,’1′,’1′,’1’]

can someone please guide me?

n=int(input())
k=int(input())

L=[0]*n
   for i in range(len(L)):
      if(k%2==0):
         L[i]='1'

      elif(k%2!=0):
         L[i]='1'


print(L)

>Solution :

In your logic, whether the value is even or odd, you are doing the same process at both steps. You should consider whether the index is odd or even in your logic.

to do this, modify your if statements to incorporate the index:

 for i in range(len(L)):
  if(k % 2 == 0 and i % 2 == 0):
     L[i]= 1

  elif(k % 2 != 0 and i % 2 != 0):
     L[i]= 1

This checks to ensure that not only the value you’re concerned with is even or odd, but if their index value is as well.
