This course covered how and why to use enumerate(). You learned how to:
enumerate() to get a counter in a loopenumerate() to display item countsenumerate()enumerate()For more information on concepts covered in this course, you can check out:
for Loops (Definite Iteration)
00:00
Congratulations! You finished a Python enumerate() course, and you did quite some things. First, you explored how it is to iterate without the enumerate() function, and then you used it, and you hopefully learned a little bit about it and why the enumerate() function is useful.
00:21
Then you built your own enumerate() function, my_enum(), to get a little bit a feeling of what’s happening under the hood of enumerate().
00:30
And you tried it out by using the my_enum() function. Python’s enumerate() lets you write Pythonic for loops when you need a count and the value from an iterable.
00:42
The big advantage of enumerate() is that it returns a tuple with a counter and a value. So you don’t have to increment the counter yourself, and it gives you the option to change the starting value for the counter.
00:54
This is something that you explored by building your own enumerate() function.

And that concludes Python enumerate(): Simplify Looping With Counters! With enumerate(), you now can count seasons, no matter how many there are.
