Hello, guys!
I advanced now at the strings part. However, there is a thing I’m still unsure of and looks a bit confusing, from a few lessons back. I looked on the internet on multiple websites and still haven’t found a clearer approach to my dilemma. Here it is:
I have the following list:
cat = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
and I decide to iterate through all the elements in the list and make X action result from that iteration (I chose the for loop):
for i in range(len(cat)):
print(cat[i])
for i in cat:
print(i)
The thing is the output is the same:
I looke in the documentation and on many other websites. They say the range is used if one desires to iterate only on a portion of the list from let’s say index 4 until the end of the list.
My questions are:
- Is this the only reason why we use range(len(list)) over just naming the list?
- If we want to refer to all the elements and iterate through all the list and not just a portion, which one is preferable and does it make a difference?
Thank you!
