How do you increment list string elements in a for loop in python?

Question

How can I increment these list string elements in a for loop?

mylist = ['and1', 'hello', 'world']

#some for loop
for i in np.linspace(start,stop,num_samples)
   print('This is %s' % mylist[0])

This gives output:

This is and1
This is and1
This is and1

My desired output is:

This is and1
This is hello
This is world

Is there an easy way to do this in python?

What is `np.linspace(start,stop,num_samples)` and why are you using it? — Edward Peters, Nov 24 '22 at 02:33
Hint: In `mylist[0]` the 0 can be replaced by a variable (or an expression). — Michael Butscher, Nov 24 '22 at 02:35

Your loop always prints `mylist[0]`, which is the first item. — John Gordon, Nov 24 '22 at 02:36

mylist[0] always refers to the initial index in the list, while you probably meant mylist[i]

However, you can directly iterate over lists

for value in mylist:
    print(f"This is {value}")
