I want to interate over two arrays in parallel, something like this:
a=[1,2,3]
b=[4,5,6]
for i,j in a,b:
print i,j
where i,j would be 1,4, 2,5, 3,6 etc.
Is this possible?
How to fish for yourself:
search 'Python loop two arrays parallel' and second hit with Google is
http://docs.python.org/tut/node7.html
which has this entry
"To loop over two or more sequences at the same time, the entries can be
paired with the zip() function.
>>> questions = ['name', 'quest', 'favorite color']
>>> answers = ['lancelot', 'the holy grail', 'blue']
>>> for q, a in zip(questions, answers):
... print 'What is your %s? It is %s.' % (q, a)
...
What is your name? It is lancelot.
What is your quest? It is the holy grail.
What is your favorite color? It is blue.
"
Or go to the Tutorial directly, expand the chapter headings, and notice
that 5. Data Structures has section 5.6 Looping Techniques.
Indeed, I recommend that you read thru at least the first 9 chapters.
