hairs = ['brown', 'blond', 'red']
eyes = ['brown', 'blue', 'green']
weights = [1, 2, 3, 4]
the_count = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
fruits = ['apples', 'oranges', 'pears', 'apricots']
change = [1, 'pennies', 2, 'dimes', 3, 'quarters']
#this first kind of for-loop goes through a list
for number in the_count:
print "This is count %d" % number
#same as above
for fruit in fruits:
print "A fruit of type: %s" % fruit
#also we can go through mixed lists too
#notice we have to use %r since we don't know what's in it
for i in change:
print "I got %r" % i
#we can also build lists, first start with an empty one
elements = []
#then use the range function to do 0 to 5 counts
for i in range (0, 6):
print "Adding %d to the list." % i
#append is a function that lists understand
elements.append(i)
#now we can print them out too
for i in elements:
print "Element was: %d" % i
