Accessing the index in for loops

Question

ints = [8, 23, 45, 12, 78]

When I loop through it using a for loop, how can I access the loop index, from 1 to 5 in this case?

Answer 1

Use enumerate to get the index with the element as you iterate:

for index, item in enumerate(items):
    print(index, item)

This way you can generate index for your array starting from 1.

Generally the index in Python starts from 0.
