Hej there,
I am writing a little throw away program in order to better understand
how I can loop through a variable and a list at the same time. Here's
what the program does and how it looks like: It counts the number of
backpackers (assuming a growth rate of 15 % year on year) over the
last five

You can zip two iterators together and iterate through the resultant
iterable of tuples.

Hej there,
Loop around your list using the enumerate builtin function and an
appropriate value for start, see
http://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#enumerate
thanks! That hint was very helpful, and I rewrote the program as
follows (I learned how to enumerate just yesterday and I

Hej there,
That's very poor coding, if you're given a function that does exactly what
you want, why rewrite it and worse still, get it wrong?
I don't quite understand. I took that advice, tried it - it worked,
and then I figured out there's also another way to get there.

print (x, country)
And yes, Rafael, you can zip together any number of iterators this way.

We've already established that you've an off by one error in the year, but
let's do a closer analysis of your code and mine.
Ok, got it - thank you for the clarification Mark.
No more questions for today, I learned a lot - thank you all!
:-)
All the best,

Now I want to enhance that program a bit by adding the most popular
country in each year. Here's what I want to get as the output:
In 2009 there were 115 backpackers worldwide and their most
popular country was Brazil.

What I am having trouble with is finding a way to say: if lastName appears
more than once, print something.
I ran a bit of code:
For x in lastname
If lastname = udall
Print something
This prints x twice.
I think what I might be hung up on is understanding the ways that I can use
a loop.

You most certainly did not run that.
