How to use 2 index variable in a single for loop in python

Question

In C language we can use two index variable in a single for loop like below.

for (i = 0, j = 0; i < i_max && j < j_max; i++, j++)

Can some one tell how to do this in Python ?

Answer 1

With zip we can achieve this.

>>> i_max = 5
>>> j_max = 7
>>> for i, j in zip(range(0, i_max), range(0, j_max)):
...     print str(i) + ", " + str(j)
...
0, 0
1, 1
2, 2
3, 3
4, 4
