questionnaire about zip and for loops

[Peter Schneider-Kamp]

This is a slightly reduced version of a questionnaire run by Greg Wilson on some CS
grad students.

I'd like to use the readers of comp.lang.python as guinea pigs this time.

PLEASE SEND THE RESULTS TO mailto:peter at schneider-kamp.de - DON'T SEND THEM TO THE LIST

Thanks for your time,
Peter

The single and double loop below print the output shown:

for x in [10, 20, 30]:           for x in [10, 20, 30]:
    print x                          for y in [1, 2, 3]:
                                         print x+y
10                              11
20                              12
30                              13
                                21
                                22
                                23
                                31
                                32
                                33

Match each of the following example for-loops to an output. Only make one cross per line.
Please consider each example on its own.
(Note that several examples may print the same thing.)
