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. The output from the "for Country in range(len(PopularCountries))" is exactly the same as with "enumerate", or am I missing something here? >> PopularCountries = ["Brazil", "China", "France", "India", "Vietnam"] >> Year = 2009 >> Backpackers = 1000000 >> for Country in range(len(PopularCountries)): >> Year += 1 >> Backpackers = Backpackers*1.15 >> print("In %d there were %d backpackers worldwide and their most >> popular country was %s." % (Year, Backpackers, >> PopularCountries[Country])) >> >>>>> >> In 2010 there were 1150000 backpackers worldwide and their most >> popular country was Brazil. > > > Whoops, what happened to 2009? Typo ;-) >> In 2011 there were 1322500 backpackers worldwide and their most >> popular country was China. >> In 2012 there were 1520874 backpackers worldwide and their most >> popular country was France. >> In 2013 there were 1749006 backpackers worldwide and their most >> popular country was India. >> In 2014 there were 2011357 backpackers worldwide and their most >> popular country was Vietnam. >> >> I will now try to further enhance my program by adding a second list >> to the loop. > > > What do you mean by "enhance", get the output correct or make it even worse? > :) Very funny. Couldn't stop laughing ;-) > So here's the code with enumerate. > > > PopularCountries = ["Brazil", "China", "France", "India", "Vietnam"] > Backpackers = 1000000 > for x, PopularCountry in enumerate(PopularCountries, start=2009): > Backpackers = Backpackers*1.15 > print("In %d there were %d backpackers worldwide and their most popular > country was %s." % (x, Backpackers, PopularCountry)) > > In 2009 there were 1150000 backpackers worldwide and their most popular > country was Brazil. > In 2010 there were 1322500 backpackers worldwide and their most popular > country was China. > In 2011 there were 1520874 backpackers worldwide and their most popular > country was France. > In 2012 there were 1749006 backpackers worldwide and their most popular > country was India. > In 2013 there were 2011357 backpackers worldwide and their most popular > country was Vietnam. Thanks. Just one last question: Is there a way to loop through an arbitrary number of lists at the same time? Say, if I wanted to loop through the most popular travel guides in each year in addition to most popular country? I couldn't figure that out by myself. Would that be doable with "enumerate" as well?
