Loop through variable in python

Please forgive me… new to python and first question on stack.

I’m trying to accomplish two things with while loop:

1. increment round number (i’m doing this successfully)
2. have the loop iterate over my variable “fruits” to print the first fruit on round one and second fruit on round two

variables:

round_number = 0 fruit = [apple, orange, banana]

python code:

while round_number < 5:
    round_number += 1
    print("Round Number: ", round_number) 

 for item in fruit:
      print(item)

the above code is what I currently have. When I run the code it prints all items in my fruit variable at once.

My desired output is for the print output to look like this:

Round Number: 1 apples

Round Number: 2 oranges

ect…

Answer

If you must use the while-loop then you can write your code as this:

fruit = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana']
round_number = 0

while round_number < len(fruit):
    round_number += 1
    print("Round Number: ", round_number, fruit[round_number-1]) 

and for the for-loop then your code will be:

fruit = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana']
round_number = 0

for item in fruit:
    print("Round Number: ", fruit.index(item)+1, item)

hope this help
