Creating Two Columns for Nested For Loops in Python

If you've ever wanted to display the output of two for loops side by side in Python, you're not alone. Many Python developers face this challenge, especially when attempting to make their output data more readable and well-organized. The goal is to align the results from two calculations in a tabular format, where one column is for a calculated value (like cost) and the other is for a corresponding value (like year).

Here's how you can effectively achieve this with a simple example.

Problem Explanation

Let's assume you have two mathematical calculations:

The first loop computes a cost (like tuition) that increases annually based on an increment factor.

The second loop tracks the year.

Your challenge is to display these results in a two-column format, where one column shows the adjusted cost and the other shows the year. Below is an example of the code you're starting with:

Solution Breakdown

Step 1: Combine the Loops

Instead of running two separate loops, you can merge them into a single loop. This allows both calculations to happen simultaneously, making it easier to print them in the desired format. Here's the modified code:

Step 2: Adjusting Column Placement

If you want the year to appear on the left and the cost on the right, you can simply adjust the print statement. Here’s how that would look:

Conclusion

By combining your loops and adjusting the output format, you can easily generate a clean, readable output with two columns—one for the incremented cost and the other for the year. This method enhances the readability of your results significantly, making your Python scripts both practical and professional. Now you can effectively present your data without the frustration of misaligned output!

Feel free to experiment with this structure to fit your specific needs—whether it’s for educational purposes, data presentation, or just improving your Python skills. Happy coding!
