Usage Tips #
When to Use Each Pattern: #
- enumerate() - Most common, when you need both index and value
- range(len()) - When you only need the index
- Manual counter - When you need custom counter logic
- Step counter - When processing every nth element
- Reverse counter - When iterating backwards
Performance Notes: #
enumerate()is typically the fastest and most readablerange(len())is efficient for index-only operations- Manual counters provide maximum flexibility but require careful management
Common Use Cases: #
- Creating numbered lists
- Processing data with position-based logic
- Tracking progress through iterations
- Conditional operations based on position
- Generating reports with line numbers
Choose the pattern that best fits your specific use case and maintain code readability.
