for strings how do we do it..
eg
a=["","",""]
a[0]=["ka",karr"]
a[1]=["a","b"]
a[2]=["db","gh"]
it works ... but it has some some shortcomings which i discovered while making an application.

like u said
a=[]
then what should we do

What exactly do you want to do with this? In other words, how should the array "a" look in the end?

Also, here's a pretty good tutorial about Python arrays (also known as lists):

hi kar2905

a = []
is a empty list and is very useful in some cases. You can add whatever content you want to add in it.
like in bogdans post he has clearly adding the numbers 0 to 6 in the empty list t.

Hope you got it

thanks..
i want the array a to be 2d array of strings.
in which a[0],a[1],a[2] store a list.
a stores all these .
is there any other method to implement it.

i want the array a to store
a=["ka""kar","a""b","c"]
a[0] has ka and kar
and so on..

Well you can use the append method to add items to the end of the array when needed. You can use assignment
(a[0]="something", for example) to modify elements that are already in the array according to their index. And you can use the insert method to insert items at a certain position in the array.

[kar2905]

can i append more than one string at a time using append.
eg.
a.append("kartik","kar")
it gives an error
so how to make a[2] store both kartik and kar
do you mean that I should use
a.append("kartik")
then use a.insert(position,"kar")

[bogdan.galiceanu]

If you want an element of the array to be an array, simply append an array:

a.append(["kartik","kar"])

If you want to append more than one item at a time, that is not possible.
