Exercise 32 - for-loop

 

the_count = [1,2,3,4,5]
fruits = ['apples', 'oranges', 'pears', 'apricots']
change = [1, 'pennies', 2, 'dimes', 3, 'quarters']

# this first kind of for-loop goes through a list
for number in the_count:
    print("This is count %d" % number)
    
# same as above
for fruit in fruits:
    print("A fruit of type: %s" % fruit)
    
# also we can go through mixed lists too
# notice we have to use %r since we don't know what's in it
for i in change:
    print("I got %r" % i)
    
# we can also build lists, first start with an empty one
elements = []

# then use the range function to do 0 to 5 counts
for i in range(0, 6):
    print("Adding %d to the list." % i)
    #append is a function that lists understand
    elements.append(i)
    
# now we can print them out too
for i in elements:
    print("Element was: %d" % i)

output

This is count 1
This is count 2
This is count 3
This is count 4
This is count 5
