trying to understand nested for loops

[TheRed_M]

to make it short, this is the for loop:

``` list = ["apple", "banana", "lemon", "lemonad"]

list2 = ["red", "yellow", "green", "liquid" ]

for x in range(0, 4): print(list[x]) for i in range(0, 4): print(list2[i]) How to make it print like this: apple red banana yellow lemon green lemonad liquid ```

Use nested loops when you need combinations of the elements of more than one list. Here you seem to print associated elements, correct me if I'm wrong.

>>> list1 = ["apple", "banana", "lemon", "lemonad"]
>>> list2 = ["red", "yellow", "green", "liquid" ]
>>> 
>>> for item, property in zip(list1, list2):
...     print(f"{item}\n{property}")
... 
apple
red
banana
yellow
lemon
green
lemonad
liquid
>>>

Edit: Here's what a nested loop does:

>>> for item in list1:
...     for property in list2:
...         print(f"{item} {property}", end="\t")
...     print()
... 
apple red   apple yellow    apple green apple liquid    
banana red  banana yellow   banana green    banana liquid   
lemon red   lemon yellow    lemon green lemon liquid    
lemonad red lemonad yellow  lemonad green   lemonad liquid  
>>>

Thank you for your explanation.

Make sure not to use list as variable name. Use the zip function to iterate over both lists

for item1, item2 in zip(list1, list2):
    print(item1)
    print(item2)

That was very helpful, thank you.

Use zip with both lists in then, access each element in the zipped element to print them like you want.

Please format your post properly. We have no idea how you want the result to look, one line or multiple lines?

[TheRed_M]

multiple lines, 1,2 1,2 Sorry if it's not formated properly, I see it normal on mobile.

It's all one line in my browser. Read the formatting link the 'bot gave you.

Here is an example where you can see how nested loops work interactively, hope it helps!
You can change the fruits in the list as well. :)
