Lists & loops
Iterate, transform, and combine sequences with readable Python patterns.
Enumerate with index
Loop with both index and value — cleaner than manual counters.
tasks = ["read docs", "write code", "run tests"]
for i, task in enumerate(tasks, start=1):
print(f"{i}. {task}")
Zip two lists
Pair items from parallel lists and iterate them together.
names = ["Ada", "Grace", "Katherine"]
scores = [98, 95, 100]
for name, score in zip(names, scores):
print(f"{name}: {score}")
print(list(zip(names, scores)))
