在 Python 中操作列表中的第一项

Question

I am working on my first python project.

I am pulling user information from google sheets into a script with gspread.

From gspread I am pulling first name, last name, email, etc.

I need to manipulate these data points into a new datapoints: username

Username for John Smith would be jsmith (first initial last name)

gspread pulls the cells as a list, ie [John, Smith]

How would I go about creating the logic to pull the first letter from the first item in the list, then adding it to the second item in the list.

Thanks!

Answer 1

nameList = ["John", "Smith"]
# Grab the first letter of the first element in the list then combine it to the second element of the list
nameList[0][0] + nameList[1]

Output:

'JSmith'
