I want to change all elements in width_lst that are equal to “1” to an empty string “”.
Before, I was using len() combined with range() to iterate over the list:
for i in range(len(width_lst)):
if width_lst[i] == "1":
width_lst[i] = ""
Python
A more readable alternative is to use enumerate:
for i, value in enumerate(width_lst):
if value == "1":
width_lst[i] = ""
Python
Enumerate returns a tuple containing a count (from start which defaults to 0) and the values obtained for that count. Example taken from the documentation:
>>> seasons = ['Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall', 'Winter']
>>> list(enumerate(seasons))
[(0, 'Spring'), (1, 'Summer'), (2, 'Fall'), (3, 'Winter')]
>>> list(enumerate(seasons, start=1))
[(1, 'Spring'), (2, 'Summer'), (3, 'Fall'), (4, 'Winter')]
Python
