For Loop with Two Variables (for i j in python)

for i j in python

The Python expression

Code:
for i, j in XXX

allows you to iterate over an iterable

Code:
XXX

of pairs of values. For example, to iterate over a list of tuples, this expression captures both tuple values in the loop variables

Code:
i

and

Code:
j

at once in each iteration.

Here’s an example:

Code:
for i, j in [('Alice', 18), ('Bob', 22)]: print(i, 'is', j, 'years old')

Output:

Code:
Alice is 18 years old
Bob is 22 years old

Notice how the first loop iteration captures

Code:
i='Alice'

and

Code:
j=18

, whereas the second loop iteration captures

Code:
i='Bob'

and

Code:
j=22

.

for i j in enumerate python

The Python expression

Code:
for i, j in enumerate(iterable)

allows you to loop over an iterable using variable

Code:
i

as a counter (0, 1, 2, …) and variable

Code:
j

to capture the iterable elements.

Here’s an example where we assign the counter values

Code:
i=0,1,2

to the three elements in

Code:
lst

Code:
lst = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carl']
for i, j in enumerate(lst): print(i, j)

Output:

Code:
Alice
Bob
Carl

Notice how the loop iteration capture:

Code:
i=0
and
Code:
j='Alice'
,
Code:
i=1
and
Code:
j='Bob'
, and
Code:
i=2
and
Code:
j='Carl'
.

function in Python.

for i j in zip python

The Python expression

Code:
for i, j in zip(iter_1, iter_2)

allows you to align the values of two iterables

Code:
iter_1

and

Code:
iter_2

in an ordered manner and iterate over the pairs of elements. We capture the two elements at the same positions in variables

Code:
i

and

Code:
j

.

Here’s an example that zips together the two li s ts

Code:
[1,2,3]

and

Code:
[9,8,7,6,5]

Code:
for i, j in zip([1,2,3], [9,8,7,6,5]): print(i, j)

Output:

Code:
9
8
7

for i j in list python

The Python expression

Code:
for i, j in list

allows you to iterate over a given list of pairs of elements (list of tuples or list of lists). In each iteration, this expression captures both pairs of elements at once in the loop variables

Code:
i

and

Code:
j

.

Here’s an example:

Code:
for i, j in [(1,9), (2,8), (3,7)]: print(i, j)

Output:

Code:
9
8
7

for i j k python

The Python expression

Code:
for i, j, k in iterable

allows you to iterate over a given list of triplets of elements (list of tuples or list of lists). In each iteration, this expression captures all three elements at once in the loop variables

Code:
i

and

Code:
j

.

Here’s an example:

Code:
for i, j, k in [(1,2,3), (4,5,6), (7,8,9)]: print(i, j, k)

Output:

Code:
2 3
5 6
8 9

for i j in a b python

Given two lists

Code:
a

and

Code:
b

, you can iterate over both lists at once by using the expression

Code:
for i,j in zip(a,b)

.

Given one list

Code:
['a', 'b']

, you can use the expression

Code:
for i,j in enumerate(['a', 'b'])

to iterate over the pairs of (identifier, list element) tuples.

Summary

The Python

Code:
for

loop is a powerful method to iterate over multiple iterables at once, usually with the help of the

Code:
zip()

Code:
enumerate()

functions.

Code:
for i, j in zip(range(10), range(10)): # (0,0), (1,1), ..., (9,9)

If a list element is an iterable by itself, you can capture all iterable elements using a comma-separated list when defining the loop variables.

Code:
for i,j,k in [(1,2,3), (4,5,6)]: # Do Something
