Lesson 05-08: Building List Functions: replaceAll

Learning Target: I can create a python function that will replace a given element in a list with another given element.

Assignment

In the area below, create a function called replaceAll() that will take in three arguments:

  • original - the original list
  • find_value - the value you want to replace in the list
  • replace_with - the value you want to replace it with in the list

and will replace ALL elements that in original that match find_value and replace their value with that of replace_with. This function should modify the value of original.

You may only use the following list methods: append(), insert(), remove(), len().

Example:

replace([1,2,1,2],1,"a") should return ["a",2,"a",2]

def replace(original,find_value,replace_with):

    #write here
