Loop question
Can anyone simplify below for loop step by step, please? lst = [0,1,2,3,4,5] n = 0 for i in lst: del lst[n] n += 1 print (i) The output is: 0 2 4

for i in lst means the following operations will be made for each existing element of lst (5 times max)
1st: we take first i = 0, delete lst[0] from lst and print i. now lst = 1,2,3,4,5, n=1
2nd: we take second element which is i=2,
delete lst[1] and print i=2
now lst = 1345 n=2;
3rd we take 3rd element from lst i=4, delete lst[2] and print i=4
now lst consist of 3 elements and we cannot continue, so the loop is over
+ 1
lst = [0,1,2,3,4,5]
loop1: delete 0 print index 0 == 0
lst = [1,2,3,4,5]
loop2: delete 2 print index 1 == 2
lst = [1,3,4,5]
loop3: delete 4 print index 2 == 4
lst = [1,3,5]
stop: no item in index 3

the the loop loads the list contents when it starts a loop so i is still 0 in the loop even though its 1 in the list
+ 1
it deletes lst[0], but before that i already = lst[0] =0
0
Markus Kaleton ,
In loop 1, when first it deletes 0, then print index 0, 0 is deleted, [1,2,3,4,5], so index 0 would be number 1 in NEW lst!!
and
n+=1
0 + 1 = 1, n=1
but we have the first output: Number 0
0
I
0
zahra what?
