Python can be nicer than that:
integer_array = [1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, -7, 8, -9, 32727000]
for index, value in enumerate(integer_array):
print "integer [%d] = %d" % (index, value)
You could also use the map function (or something similar from the itertools
module) if you really want, but it's a bit more awkward and doesn't really
enhance readability or correctness at all in this case.
