what is enumerate in python?

Answer 1

I can't give you a good description of enumerate, but here's a solid example.

Langs = ['JS', 'PHP', 'C#', 'C++']
enum = enumerate(langs)

for [index, item] in enum:
print(index, item)

Output
======
0 JS
1 PHP
2 C#
3 C++

Try giving it your own definition

Answer 2

Answer 3

#I think the best explanatoin would be to try it out so try

A = "hello"

for i in enumerate(A):
print(i)

# in this example every char in a becomes a number from range(len(A)) assigned and will be hmm i would say transformed into a tuple of the char and the number

Answer 4

D'lite shouldnt it be for [index,item] in enum: ?

Answer 5

There's the 'C-ish' way to loop through an iterator:

for i in range(len(mylist)):
print(mylist[i])

Then the more simple way:

for item in mylist:
print(item)

There are cases when you want to do both in your loop, access the item AND have the index.

Then you can use

for i, item in enumerate(mylist):
...
