How can i compare 2 different list with their same positions only in python

Question

Let we have two list a =[] and b = [] we compare it with their same position

It means
a[0] with b[0]
a[1] with b[1]
a[2] with b[2]

Answer 1

Ok, well I think the simplest way would be to do something like this:

for i in range(len(a)):
if a[i] > b[i]:
{some code to print what you need}
elif a[i] < b[i]:
{more code}
else:
{they are the same}

Note that, while you are dealing with strings and not numbers, '7' will return as greater than '10'.

Mr. Russ you note line helped me thank you

Answer 5

What comparisons do you want to do exactly?

My feeling is you will need the zip() method. This is a generator function that returns tuple after tuple of each list's fist element, followed their second element and so on.

Example:

a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]
print(*[i for i in zip(a,b)])
# (1, 4) (2, 5) (3, 6)

If you want to compare if each elements in one list is equal to its corresponding element in the other:

a = [1,2,3]
b = [1,2,3]
print(all(x == y for (x,y) in zip(a,b)))

# True

I already tried these all but it is not helping me

Answer 7

Zinn Kazama then you need to explain how you are trying to compare them.

What lists do you have? In what way are you comparing them? What result are you expecting?

Answer 8

Russ
Let i have two list in first a =[ '5','6','7'] and in second list b = ['3','6','10'] given element. Now i have to compare the both list's elements with their same postion not a list with another list
for example
a[0] with b[0] if a[0] < or > b[0] then i got my value similarly i have to compare a[1] with b[1] and a[2] with b[2] only

and sorry i didnt explain correctly before and thank you

Answer 9

this code is only comparing two list and giving result that those two lists are identical or not
