Answer 1

Try to add this in your code. Still not sure whether if this is what you after though

shortest = len(min(tableData, key = len))
rows = len(tableData)
for r in range(rows):
for c in range(shortest):
print(tableData [r] [c], end = " | ")
print()

I have updated the answer. This code output is pretty close to what you described.

Sorry, it's my bad,
Try this maybe better ...

shortest = len(min(tableData, key = len))
rows = len(tableData)
for r in range(shortest):
for c in range(rows):
print(tableData [c] [r], end = " | ")
print()

Output:
kenth | james | snoodog |
rys | jon | emeenem |
apples | kandell | kanyewest |
oranges | sheldon | jayz |

But you said the second row should be like this:

rys | sheldon | eminem |

Though to achieve that the selected column from a row will be different (random?). I don't know how to achieve that.

Where did you get this problem? I saw a question in StackOverflow with almost identical list.

Answer 3

I'm having difficulty trying to understand what you want with the code. Can you give a little example and desired output as an illustration? maybe I can help, but no promises : )

Answer 4

i would like to print all the items in a table format so that each list has a seperate collum

Answer 5

so i want it to print :
kenth james snoop
rys sheldon eminem.... etc
Ipang i tried adding your code but it printed each list on a seperate line. what i want is for the words to be printed like in the example on this coment

Answer 6

thank you Ipang
