How to loop over two string lists in single for loop?

Question

It is pretty simple case I want to join two list string with for loop. for example

player_name =['Messi','Ronaldo']
player_id = ['1','2']
for player_data in player_name,player_id:
    print('player'+player_data+'id'+player_data)

But I got

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "list") to str

Is there a way I can print out player Messi id 1,player Ronaldo id 2 ?

Use `zip` https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#zip — Iain Shelvington, Feb 25 '21 at 07:52
Simpy iterate over `index` like `for i in range(len(player_name))`. Then use the `i` to index them — Epsi95, Feb 25 '21 at 07:54

You need zip funcion

player_names =['Messi','Ronaldo']
player_ids = ['1','2']
for player_name, player_id in zip(player_names,player_ids):
    print('player '+player_name+' id '+player_id)

there are some better methods to handle stings

Since there are 2 lists in the loop, You should provide 2 variables to unpack the values from the lists.

player_name =['Messi','Ronaldo']
player_id = ['1','2']
for name,id in player_name,player_id:
    print('player: '+name+' id: '+id)
