Question

Did my python ide break or something?

import sys

i = 0
sample = ("this", "is", "Annoying!")

for line in sample:
    print i, line
    i + 1

Now gives me…

0 this 
0 is 
0 Annoying!

I THOUGHT, it would give me:

1 this 
2 is 
3 Annoying

I had other scripts that I was working on and it they all just broke – they all have the same line number when they print numerous iterations using the for statement – can someone PLEASE tell me what the heck is going on – very frustrated lol… did Python break? Do I need sleep? What is wrong here?

Answer 1

While the other answers are correct, this is how you usually do this in python:

sample = ("this", "is", "Annoying!")

for i, line in enumerate(sample):
    print i, line

The enumerate function does exactly what you want: Iterating through your tuple, while at the same time giving you (line) numbers.
