Why For Loop Skips the Last element?

[Jacob Kruger]

Not sure after quick skim/scan, but, I would generally use either for I in range(len(inlist)): or just for it in inlist, instead of using while, etc.

Stay well

  Hi all,


  Here's the list. .


  inlist = ["Fossil Women's Natalie Stainless Steel Watch Brown (JR1385)",
  'Balmer Swiss Made Veyron Mens Watch: Black Band/ Black Dial (62625241)',
  'Fortune NYC Ladies Quilted Dial Watch: Brown',
  'Jeanne Collection w/ Swarovski Elements Watch: Dark Purple Band (62623659)',
  'Swiss Legend Commander Chronograph: Watch Orange/Black (SL-10067-01-ORS)',
  'Debussy Ladies Watch: Brown/Gray/Silver 14070 - 62625292',
  '#2 Swiss Legend Commander Chronograph: Green (SL-10067-BB-017)',
  'Auguste Jaccard 3 Timezone Watch: Black Band/ Gray & Black Dial (62625184)'
  ]


  My code :
  i = 0
  while i <= len(inlist):
      if 'watch' in str(inlist[i]).lower() or 'watches' in str(inlist[i]).lower():
          if 'women' in str(inlist[i]).lower() or 'female' in str(inlist[i]).lower() or 'ladies' in str(inlist[i]).lower():
              print 'FEMale Watch', inlist.index(i),str(i)
          elif 'men' in str(inlist[i]).lower() or 'male' in str(inlist[i]).lower() or 'chronograph' in str(inlist[i]).lower():
              print 'Male Watch',inlist.index(i),str(i)
          i = next(inlist)


  When on executing python skips the last element('Auguste Jaccard 3 Timezone Watch: Black Band/ Gray & Black Dial (62625184)') in the list.


  But when accessing through 'print inlist[0]' is possible,i.e it shows the e;lement. but the list skips it. .
  Please enlighten me. .
  Thanks.
