Automatic increment

[Gheorghe Postelnicu]

Hi,

I have a situation of the following type:

for line in lineList:
for item in line.split()
myArray[counter, itemCounter]
itemCounter = itemCounter + 1
counter = counter +1

Is there a way to get rid of the manual incrementation of the 2 counters?

Thanks,

for counter, line in enumerate(lineL ist):

myArray[counter, itemCounter]

What do you imagine that the above line is doing? Alternatively, should
you be posting in comp.lang.somel anguageothertha nPython ?

itemCounter = itemCounter + 1
counter = counter +1

You could have saved some wear and tear on your pinkies by doing e.g.
itemCounter += 1
