Iterating Over Indexes
Index iteration is a fundamental technique in Python, enabling you to access and manipulate elements directly by their positions within data structures like lists or arrays. This approach is particularly useful for tasks that require precise control over sequence elements, such as adjusting inventory levels or processing sales data in a grocery store.
Watch as Alex demonstrates the power and utility of iterating over indexes to streamline operations in our grocery store scenario:
Iterating over indexes is useful when you need to access both the index and the value of each element in a list. When we use range() with len(), we are combining two functions to generate a sequence of numbers corresponding to the indices of the list elements. This method is particularly useful in loops where you need to access or modify elements based on their position.
For example, this for loop accesses the index and the value of each element in the grocery_list:
# List of grocery items grocery_list = ["Apples", "Bananas", "Carrots", "Dates"] # Initialize a for loop to iterate over indexes for item in range(len(grocery_list)): print("Index:", item) print("Item:", grocery_list[item]) print("----") # Separator for clarity
Example Application
To apply a discount to a list of prices, we need to modify the elements of the list directly. Using a simple loop like for cost in prices: would only give us a copy of each item, not a reference to the actual item in the list. Modifications made in this manner would not affect the original list. To ensure we directly update each element in the prices list, we use range(len(prices)) to iterate over the indices. This allows us to apply a discount factor to each element:
# List of original prices of grocery items prices = [1.50, 2.00, 0.75, 3.25] # Discount factor (10% off each item) discount_factor = 0.10 # Iterate over the list of prices using range(len()) for cost in range(len(prices)): # Apply the discount by reducing the price prices[cost] -= prices[cost] * discount_factor print(f"New price of item {cost+1}: ${prices[cost]}") print("") print("Updated prices:", prices)
This method ensures that the original list prices is updated directly with the new, discounted prices, reflecting the changes immediately across the program wherever the prices list is used.

You were given a list of tuples, where each tuple contains an item's name and its current stock, you'll use index iteration to update stock levels and determine if reordering is necessary based on a minimum stock threshold.
Task:
Iterate Over Indexes: Use a for loop with range() and len() to iterate over the stock_items list by index.
