How to Store Values and Indexes of a Python List in a Variable

Python lists are versatile and easy-to-use structures that allow you to manage collections of items seamlessly. However, there may be instances when you need to not only access the values contained in a list but also save their corresponding indexes in a variable. This is particularly useful in various scenarios, such as when you require both the item information and its position for further processing.

In this guide, we'll discuss a simple yet efficient way to achieve this using Python. Read on to learn how to store values and indexes from a list into a new variable!

Understanding the Problem

Consider a list of bank names as shown below:

Let's say you want to enumerate over the first five banks and print their corresponding indexes along with their names. The typical approach would involve using a for loop, which would look like this:

The output of running this code would be:

Now, the question arises: How can I save the result of this output into a variable?

Storing Values and Indexes in a Variable

To store both the index and the corresponding value from the list into a variable, you can create a new list (or use another suitable data structure like a NumPy array). Below, we'll walk you through the steps to create such a new list that contains pairs of indexes and values.

Steps to Save Values and Indexes

Create an Empty List: Start by creating an empty list that will store your results.

Use a Loop with Enumerate: Utilize a for loop along with the enumerate() function to iterate over the original list. This will allow you to access both the index and the item.

Append to the Result List: Within the loop, append a list (or tuple) containing the index and the item to your result list.

Here's how the code looks:

Resulting Structure

After executing the above code, your result variable will look like this:

This means you now have a list of lists, where each inner list contains the index and its corresponding bank name.

Conclusion

In summary, storing values and indexes from a Python list into a variable is a straightforward process that can be effortlessly achieved by combining enumeration with list appending. By converting your indexed output into a new list, you can utilize the data flexibly for your programming requirements.

Feel free to explore different structures such as tuples instead of lists if you wish to enforce immutability, or even NumPy arrays for more complex data manipulations.

Happy coding!
