Answer 2

indexed how?

Answer 3

having the same indexes?

Answer 4

hmmm, thanks boss i see, its understandable now

Answer 5

You could set up 2 lists with the items of the lists indexed so they cross-reference each other.

Then you could iterate through one list looking for a match, which would return the indexed item from the 2nd list.

Dictionaries are much more efficient
