So I can start from len(collection)
and end in collection[0]
.
I also want to be able to access the loop index.
Use the built-in reversed()
function:
>>> a = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
>>> for i in reversed(a):
... print(i)
...
baz
bar
foo
To also access the original index, use enumerate()
on your list before passing it to reversed()
:
>>> for i, e in reversed(list(enumerate(a))):
... print(i, e)
...
2 baz
1 bar
0 foo
Since enumerate()
returns a generator and generators can't be reversed, you need to convert it to a list
first.
