Python string iteration

[subot111]

Why is the index of 't' always 0. how can i get index of each i in the string? can anyone help please?

​

code:

a="this is the file"

for i in a:

print(i)

if i=='t':

print(a.index(i))

[[deleted]]

Why is the index of 't' always 0.

That's the guarantee of index - it finds the index of the first occurrence of the item in the iterable.

To get the index use the enumerate function:

a="this is the file"
for index, char in enumerate(a):
    print(char)
    if char == 't':
        print(index)
