For range and list 😓

Question

Could any1 please explain this to me ?

list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
for i in list
print(i)

1
2
3
4
5

I find it really confusing and don’t quite understand what is happening here

Answer 1

Yes, but not at the same time.

i becomes every element of the list, one after another.

Imagine it as if you do something with every item in a box.

for book in books:
read(book)

for fruit in fruitbox:
eat(fruit)

for pen in penbag:
sharpen(pen)

Answer 2

awsome thank you so very much i understand v clearly now ! thank you HonFu and Bhavya Bhav

Answer 3

Read it like:

For every element in list that shall be called i...
print(i)

Answer 4

In every loop iteration you assign to i one of the elements: First list[0], then list[1], then list[2]...

Answer 5

similar to assigning a variable a number, now we assign the entire list to a variable, and every element in the list is now i..
am i right ? HonFu Bhavya Bhav

Answer 6

so all the elements in the list are i now ?
