Dear Sir,
Consider an example of printing all elements of a principal diagonal of a
rectangular matrix.
lx = [[2, 5, 9, 0],
[3, 8, 1, 5],
[4, 8, 1, 2],
[6, 1, 2, 4],
[3, 1, 6, 7]]
for i, nlist in enumerate(lx):
for j, num in enumerate(nlist):
if i==j:
print(num)
The above use of enumerate() works well. Another solution is also given
below:
for i in range(len(lx)):
for j in range(len(lx[0])):
if i == j:
print(lx[i][j])
also works, but lots of indexing and other operations don't look good and
effective to me .
Is there any other better solution other than the first one using
enumerate() ?
Is this a valid and preferred use case of using enumerate() function ?
Regards
Manprit Singh
