[Tutor] Is there a better way to write my code?

[Nitin Madhok]

Use List comprehension:

animals = ["Dog", "Tiger", "SuperLion", "Cow", "Panda"]
animals_lol = [[animal, len(animal)] for animal in animals]
print(animals_lol)

[['Dog', 3], ['Tiger', 5], ['SuperLion', 9], ['Cow', 3], ['Panda', 5]]

If you want to read more about list comprehension, https://www.pythonforbeginners.com/lists/list-comprehensions-in-python/ <https://www.pythonforbeginners.com/lists/list-comprehensions-in-python/> is a good resource!
