LESSON 162 OF 569 · LOOPING OVER LIST INDICES

Looping through a list using indices in Python

Lesson

In some instances, we will want to loop through a list using indices. The range() function helps us achieve that.

The indices of some list meals are all the integer values from 0 to len(meals) - 1, so we can iterate over them using an index variable i:

meals = ["pancakes", "pasta", "pizza", "avocado"]

for i in range(len(meals)):
	print(f"Meal number {i + 1} is {meals[i]}.")

The output of this code is:

Meal number 1 is pancakes.
Meal number 2 is pasta.
Meal number 3 is pizza.
Meal number 4 is avocado.
