Dear group, I have two lists names x and seq.

I am trying to find element of x in element of seq. I
find them. However, I want to print element in seq
that contains element of x and also the next element
in seq.



So I tried this piece of code and get and error that str and int cannot be concatenated

for ele1 in x:

for ele2 in seq: if ele1 in ele2: print (seq[ele1+1])

You are confusing the elements themselves with their indices. The problem here is that ele1 is a string - an element of x - not a number, which is what you need for an index.


for ele1 in x:

for ele2 in seq: if ele2 in range(len(seq)): if ele1 in ele2: print seq[ele2+1]

Now ele2 is a number, so 'if ele1 in ele2' is never true.

3. TRIAL 3:
I just asked to print the element in seq that matched
element 1 in X. It prints only that element, however
I want to print the next element too and I cannot get
it.


for ele1 in x:

for ele2 in seq: if ele1 in ele2: print ele2

The enumerate function is useful here. enumerate(seq) returns a sequence of (index, element) pairs. So you could write


for ele1 in x:
    for index, ele2 in enumerate(seq):
        if ele1 in ele2:
            print ele2
            print seq[index+1]
