Python: Access the index of a list

Python List: Exercise - 20 with Solution

Access List Indices

Write a Python program to access the index of a list.

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a list 'nums' containing a sequence of numbers
nums = [5, 15, 35, 8, 98]
# Use a 'for' loop with 'enumerate' to iterate through 'nums' and obtain both the index and value of each element
for num_index, num_val in enumerate(nums):
    # Print the index and value of each element in 'nums'
    print(num_index, num_val)

Sample Output:

0 5                                                                                                           
1 15                                                                                                          
2 35                                                                                                          
3 8                                                                                                           
4 98

Explanation:

In the above exercise -

nums = [5, 15, 35, 8, 98] - initializes a list of numbers with 5 elements.

for num_index, num_val in enumerate(nums): - This is a for loop that iterates over each element of nums and returns both the index of the element and the value of the element using the enumerate function.

print(num_index, num_val) – This line prints out the index and value of each element in nums using the print() function.
