python中enumerate用法

enumerate()

A new built-in function, enumerate() , will make certain loops a bit clearer. enumerate(thing) , where thing is either an iterator or a sequence, returns a iterator that will return (0, thing [0]) , (1, thing [1]) , (2, thing [2]) , and so forth.

A common idiom to change every element of a list looks like this:

 

for i in range(len(L)):

    item = L[i]

    # ... compute some result based on item ...

    L[i] = result

This can be rewritten using enumerate() as:

 

for i, item in enumerate(L):

    # ... compute some result based on item ...

    L[i] = result





example:



#!/usr/bin/env python

string = 'mytest'



for i in range(len(string)):

    print string[i],'(%d)' %i





for i,item in enumerate(string):

    print item,'(%d)' %i
