Python loop counter in a for loop [duplicate]
Use enumerate() like so:
def draw_menu(options, selected_index): for counter, option in enumerate(options): if counter == selected_index: print " [*] %s" % option else: print " [ ] %s" % option options = ['Option 0', 'Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3']draw_menu(options, 2)Note: You can optionally put parenthesis around counter, option, like (counter, option), if you want, but they're extraneous and not normally included.
