Hi!
I want to process corresponding elements of two lists, sequentially. Call
the
lists list1 and list2, and assume they have equal lengths. I can do
something
like
for index in range(len(list1)):
process(list1[index], list2[index])
But I find it somehow rather ugly, because we generate yet another an list
for
the index, when we already have the two we want to process. I know we can
use
xrange, but still I find it awkward...
Instead of the above snippet, I am considering something like
while list1:
process(list1.pop(), list2.pop())
But this has the side effect of emptying both lists, which may not be
convenient. Of course we can make backup copies of the lists if needed, but
we
are then recovering the previous method ugliness...
Maybe enumerate is what you are looking for?
list1=range(10)
list2=range(10,20)
for index, element in enumerate(list1):
print element, list2[index]
