Select each element of the list (using loop)

Question

Hi i am new to python and i am trying to build a function which will select each element of the list at a time,store each element in a variable and do something (using a loop)

StrLst = ['aaa','bbbaaa','cccbbb','aaabbb']

now i want the first element of the list which will be stored in a variable

LstEle = list[0]    #i.e. LstEle = aaa

use the LstEle variable

and then go to the next element and do the same keep doing this for the whole list

You can use a for-loop in order to achieve what you want.

for LstEle in StrLst:
    # do something with LstEle

In each iteration the current element will be accessible through LstEle.

how do you iterate to each element i.e. change the value in list [] brackets – Tanmay Sep 15 '14 at 17:18
It's iterating automatically because lists in python are iterable objects. I know this is question-answer site but I strongly suggest to read any of introducing into python book or internet tutorial. – python Sep 15 '14 at 17:20
