Crossing list elements, what the best method for you ?

Question

names = ["name 1", "name 2", "name 3", "name4"]
ages = ["12", "18", "22", "5", "60"]

#with the zip function
for i in zip(names, ages):
print("name : {} - age : {} years old".format(i[0], i[1]))

#with the enumerate function
for i, n in enumerate(names):
print("name : {} - age : {} years old".format(n, ages[i]))

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I'd do:
for n, a in zip(names, ages):
print("name : {} - age : {} years old".format(n, a))

It handles lists of different lengths correctly. The enumerate fails as coded, when ages is shorter than names.

Answer 3

names = [
"name 1", "name 2", "name 3",
"name 4","name 5", "name 6"
]
ages= ["12", "18", "22", "5"]

for i, n in enumerate(names):
try :
ages[i]
except IndexError:
print (n +" doesn't have any age listed")
else :
print("Name : {} - Age : {} years old".format(n, ages[i]))

Answer 4

Thank you,
the problem is age [i], right ?
for exemple, if names list have 3 elements and ages list have 2 elements, we will have ages[2] in the end
