You can do this, but normally shouldn't:
data = [2, 4, 8, 16, 32]
for i in range(0, len(data)):
x = data[i]
print(x)
That is a more-or-less exact translation of what you might do in a
language like C or Pascal. But in Python, it's not considered good form.
(Although, if you are doing a direct translation of some C code, it
might be acceptable.) Instead, you should iterate directly over the
elements of the list:
data = [2, 4, 8, 16, 32]
for x in data:
print(x)
(Python's for-loop is what some other languages call "for-each".) If you
need the index as well, you can do this:
data = [2, 4, 8, 16, 32]
for i, x in enumerate(data):
print(i, x)
The rest of your question seems pretty interesting, unfortunately I
don't have time to get into it now. Good luck!
