how to iterate through two lists and not repeat values?

Question

I'm learning python and I've come across this problem that seems very simple, but I can't find a way

I have two lists:

animals = ['cat', 'dog']
animals_name = ['rex', 'laika']

I tried:

for animal in animals:
    for name in enumerate(animals_name):
        print(animal, name)

and got:

cat (0, 'rex')
cat (1, 'laika')
dog (0, 'rex')
dog (1, 'laika')

I was hoping to get:

cat rex
dog laika

Answer 1

Use the zip() function:

list(zip(animals, animals_name))

Answer 2

animals = ['cat', 'dog']
animals_name = ['rex', 'laika']


for index, value in enumerate(animals):
    print(animals[index], animals_name[index], sep=' ')

output

cat rex
dog laika
