How do I get the key of an item when doing a FOR loop through a dictionary or list in Python?
- by Mike Hayes
Hi
I am new to Python.
Say I have a list:
list = ['A','B','C','D']
The key for each item respectively here is 0,1,2,3 - right?
Now I am going to loop through it with a for loop...
for item in list:
print item
That's great, I can print out my list.
How do I get the key here? For example being able to do:
print key
print item
on each loop?
If this isn't possible with a list, where keys are not declared myself, is it possible with a Dictionary?
Thanks
