[Tutor] solution for for loop?

[Clayton Kirkwood]

Ding, ding, ding. Winner, winner, winner. Peter wins the prize, suggesting
the use of zip(). This allowed me to pull two different strings from two
different lists at one time in a for loop.

for description_position, code_position in zip(description, code):

Yes!!  Thank you Peter

Clayton

!You want zip():
!
!>>> colors = [ "red", "green", "yellow"] fruit_list = ["cherry",
!>>> "apple", "banana"] for color, fruit in zip(colors, fruit_list):
!...     print(color, fruit)
!...
!red cherry
!green apple
!yellow banana
!
