How can I access the items within an empty list that is part of the input?

edit

If the list is empty, there are no items to access. However, you can still access the empty list itself using its index. For example, if the empty list is the third element in the input list, you can access it using the following code:

input_list = [1, "hello", [], 2.5]
empty_list = input_list[2]  # accessing the empty list

Note that attempting to index or iterate over an empty list will not raise an error but will simply do nothing, as there are no items to operate on.
