Hey all,

Python noob student here. I need to have a striding for loop. How can you loop through a list on say every 3rd element?

Thanks,
Achilles

Unlike a for loop where you want to step by 1, you HAVE to include the min arg here. So if you want to iterate through a list for every 3rd element, starting at 0, ending at 10, you would use:

for i in range(0, 10, 3):

The for-each style of loop would probably work a little better:

for eachElement in myList[::3]:
