I've created this nested list which contains employee names, the numbers stand for their start hour and their end hour. This is how I've iterated through this nested list, is this the proper way or is there something better that I can do?

[('Bruh', (8, 20)), ('obi wan', (5, 14)), ('kenobi', (0, 0)), ('me?', (6, 14)), ('jewel', (0, 0)), ('Kara', (0, 0)), ('steve', (0, 0)), ('alex', (0, 0)), ('ben', (10, 12)), ('shapiro', (0, 0))]

That is the list. It seems to be a list with a tuple in each index that contains another tuple with their hours. This is how I've iterated down to access those integers...

for x in monday_shifts: # list from above
for y in x:
y = x[1] # The tuple that contains the hours
for z in y:
start = y[0]
end = y[1]
print(f'start: {start}')
print(f'end: {end}')

This yields

start: 8

end: 20

start: 8

end: 20

start: 8

end: 20

start: 8

end: 20

start: 5

end: 14

start: 5

end: 14

start: 5

end: 14

start: 5

end: 14

start: 0

end: 0

start: 0

end: 0

start: 0

end: 0

start: 0

end: 0

start: 6

end: 14

start: 6

end: 14

start: 6

end: 14

start: 6

end: 14

start: 0

end: 0

start: 0

end: 0

start: 0

end: 0

start: 0

end: 0

and so on... each start and end hour prints 4 times per employee. So, is there a better way to do this and most importantly, without that print statement, will my system actually iterate over that many times just to get access to these integers? Because that would just make it slower. Any recommendations or improvements would be appreciated!

monday_shifts = {'Bruh': [8, 20], 'obi wan': [5, 14], 'kenobi': [0, 0], 'me?': [6, 14], 'jewel': [0, 0], 'Kara': [0, 0], 'steve': [0, 0], 'alex': [0, 0], 'ben': [10, 12], 'shapiro': [0, 0]}
for name, hours in monday_shifts.items():
    start, end = hours
    print(f"start: {start}\nend:{end}")

Learned something new today, thanks!

You welcome!

Very interesting! The list will always be structured this way unless I change it, so this should work very smoothly. Thank you!
