Matlab equivalent of Python enumerate

Question

In Python, we have a convenient function enumerate:

for i,item in enumerate(foo_list):
    do something

Is there a Matlab equivalent to enumerate?

For now, what I can think of is something like the following (Matlab code):

i=1;
for foo=foo_list
    ....
    i=i+1;
end

Answer 1

As far as I know, there is no equivalent of enumerate in Matlab. The most common way to do this is:

for i = 1:length(foo_list)
    item = foo_list(i);
    % do stuff with i, item
end
