Python Map List of Strings to Integer List

Question

Let\'s say I have a list

l = [\'michael\',\'michael\',\'alice\',\'carter\']

I want to map it to the following:

k = [1,1,2,3         


        

Answer 1

can do it pretty easy without a function :

j - list()    
for i in range (len(l)) : 
   j.append((l[i],k[i]))
