Question

EDIT: Problem was due to a different part of my code. I thought it was the for loop

I have a for loop in python that goes like this:

for x in OrderedList:
    if x in ResultList1:
        print x, '1'
    elif x in ResultList2:
        print x, '2'
    elif x in ResultList3:
        print x, '3'

The problem is if it finds x in ResultList1 and ResultList2, it prints x,'1' and x,'2' but I want it to get the next value for x if it finds x in ResultList1, not look in 2 and 3 also.

Answer 1

Your code already does that.

The other way you can move to the next element is to use continue:

for x in OrderedList:
    if x in ResultList1:
        print x, '1'
        continue
    if x in ResultList2:
        print x, '2'
        continue
    if x in ResultList3:
        print x, '3'
        continue

However it’s unnecessary here because you are using elif.
