Accessing positions of items in a loop

Every item in an iterable also has an index, starting from 0, that indicates its position. You can access every item and its index by enumerating the items.

Code

# Printing my favorite desserts
favorites = ["Banana Split", "Chocolate Shake", "Vanilla Ice Cream"]
for (index, dessert) in enumerate(favorites):
    rank = index + 1
    print(str(rank) + '. ' + dessert)

Output

1. Banana Split
2. Chocolate Shake
3. Vanilla Ice Cream
