Python using enumerate inside list comprehension

Question

Lets suppose I have a list like this:

mylist = [\"a\",\"b\",\"c\",\"d\"]

To get the values printed along with their index I can use Python\

Answer 1

Try this:

[(i, j) for i, j in enumerate(mylist)]

You need to put i,j inside a tuple for the list comprehension to work. Alternatively, given that enumerate() already returns a tuple, you can return it directly without unpacking it first:

[pair for pair in enumerate(mylist)]

Either way, the result that gets returned is as expected:

> [(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'), (2, 'c'), (3, 'd')]
