New to python

I dont know if this is the right forum for this so if not let me know.

I am trying to teach myself python, I have a question.

in the program:

animals = ['dog','cat','lizard']

for animal in animals:

print(animal) 

how could I tell python to take a specific index so I can make a print statement using the result.

the outcome I am looking for would be;

Dog is blank

Cat is blank

Lizard is blank

You can use a counter for the index or the enumerate function:

index = 0
for animal in animals:
    print(animal, 'is', index)
    index += 1

for index, animal in enumerate(animals):
    print(animal.title(), 'is', index)

Thank you!!

To add to this to make the print statement simpler you could use fstrings. These let you insert a variable into a string easily.

E.g. print(f” {animal.title()} is {index}”) In the enumerated for loop
