Pseudocode and Flowchart Solution

Enumerate is a built-in function of Python. Its usefulness can not be summarized in a single line. Yet most of the newcomers and even some advanced programmers are unaware of it. It allows us to loop over something and have an automatic counter. Here is an example:

for counter, value in enumerate(some_list):

    print(counter, value)

And there is more! enumerate also accepts an optional argument which makes it even more useful.

my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'grapes', 'pear']

for c, value in enumerate(my_list, 1):

    print(c, value)

# Output:

# 1 apple

# 2 banana

# 3 grapes

# 4 pear
