python: running a loop over indexes of a sub list -
for items in things: while inputfloat != 0: thingsback[][1]=inputfloat//things[] inputfloat=inputfloat-(things[]*thingsback[][1]) things list of n elements, while thingsback list n sub-lists. want both things , thingsback start @ 0th element , loop through recursion. calculation inputfloat//things[] changes 1 index of j-th sublist in thingsback. know [] invalid syntax, used illustrative purposes. it seems there obvious solution, not seeing it. taking guess, think looking index of current item in loop? for index, items in enumerate(things): # stuff using index check out: accessing index in python 'for' loops
