Python lists, help needed

Question

Hello! I'm new to programming and Python. I gave myself a challenge about manipulating lists and now I'm stuck. Here's my problem:
I have two lists of strings.
names =["Bulbasaur", "Ivysaur", "Venusaur", "Charmander", "Charmeleon", "Charizard", "Squirtle", "Wartortle", "Blastoise"]
numbers = ["#1 ", "#2 ", "#3 ", "#4 ", "#5 ", "#6 ", "#7 ", "#8 ", "#9 "]

I'd like to combine the two lists into a new list called pokedex, which should look like this:
pokedex = ["#1 Bulbasaur", "#2 Ivysaur", "#3 Venusaur", and so on... ]

Using a for loop I get ["#1 Bulbasaur", #1 Ivysaur", "#1 Venusaur", .... , "#2 Bulbasaur", "#2 Ivysaur", and so on...]

How do I do it so I only add the first index of the first list to the first index of the second list, then the second to the second and so on?

Answer 1

print([i[0]+i[1] for i in zip(numbers,names)])

Answer 2

for i in range(len(names)):
word = numbers[i] + " " + names[i]
pokedex.append(word)

Abhay solution is perfect for runaways, maybe a bit hard for you. Although you should study that brilliant snippet.

Answer 3

How about this one, based on Abhay 's solution. Maybe it is easier to understand with named variables. Things to look up: list comprehensions, zip, tuple

pokedex = [f'{number} {name}' for number, name in zip(numbers,names)]

Answer 4

schaust halt, welche du nimmst.
servus und gruss von der Waterkant.

Answer 5

Looks like you used nested loops, which gave you every possible combination, but just a single loop is needed here

Answer 6

Thank you very much for your help!

Frogged provided the answer which is easiest to understand at my level, but I will look up Abhay and Jan Markus answers too.

#Easiest method -

names =["Bulbasaur", "Ivysaur", "Venusaur", "Charmander", "Charmeleon", "Charizard", "Squirtle", "Wartortle", "Blastoise"]

numbers = ["#1 ", "#2 ", "#3 ", "#4 ", "#5 ", "#6 ", "#7 ", "#8 ", "#9 "]

pokedex = []
for i,j in zip(numbers,names):
pokedex.append( i+' '+j)

Answer 9

g =[]
for x in numbers:
for i in names:
if numbers.index(x) == names.index(i):
g.append(x)
g.append(i)

print(g)
