[FIXED] How do I modify the code so that it only outputs one headline from the news instead of all of them?

Issue

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news'
response = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
headlines = soup.find('body').find_all('h3')
for x in headlines:
    print(x.text.strip())

The issue is that it prints out all the headlines from BBC articles, however, I just want to be able to change the code so that it only outputs the main headline or the first 3 headlines. Does anyone know how to help me out with this problem?

Solution

You can do like this.

Replace k with whatever number of headlines you wish to display.

Method-1: List Slicing

for x in headlines[:k]:
    print(x.text.strip())

Method-2: Using enumerate()

for idx, val in enumerate(headlines, start=1):
    if idx <= k:
        print(val.text.strip())
