rename each second value in an array in python

To rename every second value in an array in Python, you can use array indexing and a loop. Here's an example:

main.py
def rename_second_values(array):
    for i in range(1, len(array), 2):
        array[i] = "new_name"

# Example usage
my_array = ['value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4', 'value5']
rename_second_values(my_array)
print(my_array)
227 chars
9 lines

Output:

main.py
['value1', 'new_name', 'value3', 'new_name', 'value5']
55 chars
2 lines

In this example, the rename_second_values function takes an array as input and uses a for loop with a step size of 2 to iterate over every second element in the array. The loop index variable i represents the index of each second value, and the corresponding element is renamed to "new_name" in the array.

Note: This approach assumes that the array has at least two elements. If the array has fewer elements, the loop will not iterate and no values will be renamed.
