How to Access the Index in a Python for Loop?
In Python, you can access the index of a loop using the built-in function enumerate()
. Here's an example:
my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
for index, fruit in enumerate(my_list):
print(index, fruit)
# Output:
# 0 apple
# 1 banana
# 2 cherry
In the example above, enumerate()
returns a tuple with two values for each iteration of the loop: the index of the current item (index
) and the value of the current item (fruit
). The loop then assigns these values to separate variables (index
and fruit
) for each iteration.
You can then use the index
variable to access elements of other lists or do any other operations involving the index.
