You can spell this as a for-loop:
for p in a:
if p:
print p
It isn't exactly equivalent, but gives the same output as we know that a[0]
and a[1] are also 0.
If the OP insists in not examining a[0] and a[1], this will do exactly
the same as the while version:
for p in a[2:]:
if p:
print p
... at the cost of almost doubling the amount of memory required.
Indeed. Would it be a sensible proposal that sequence slices should
return an iterator instead of a list?
