The enumerate() Function

The enumerate() function is incredibly useful when you need to access both the value and its index in a sequence, such as a list or a string. This allows you to work with items while keeping track of their position in the sequence.

In Python, lists are ordered data structures, meaning each item has a unique index. The enumerate() function makes it easy to retrieve both the index and the value simultaneously.

The syntax for using enumerate() is:

python

index: refers to the position of an element in the list. Python uses 0-based indexing, meaning the first element has an index of 0;
value: refers to the actual element at a given index.

Let's apply enumerate() to our travel_list to print each city along with its index:


              12345
            
travel_list = ['Monako', 'Luxemburg', 'Liverpool', 'Barcelona', 'Munchen']

# Printing all cities with their indexes
for index, city in enumerate(travel_list):
    print(str(index) + ' ' + city)

As a traveler, you have a list of potential destinations and want to assign a unique identifier to each one based on its position in the list.

Use the enumerate() function to iterate through the countries list.
Assign an ID number to each destination.
Store the results in a list where each entry follows the format: "<Country>-id#<Index>".
