Topic 6 Python’s enumerate

Let’s suppose that I have a list:

fruits = ['apple', 'cherry', 'banana', 'mango', 'watermelon', 'tomato']

Now, imagine that I wanted to iterate through fruits and print out each fruit. I’m sure you know that I can iterate through fruits in two ways:

1. Using a for loop

   for fruit in fruits:
     print(fruit)

2. Using indices

   for i in range(len(fruits)):
     print(fruits[i])

However, there is also another way: using enumerate() - a function that is not mentioned in your lectures or tutorials!
