way to compare between index of two lists in python

November 5, 2021

list1=['name1','name2','name3']
list2=[123,1234,12345]

i wanna say in python if index of ‘name1’in the first list is equal to index of 123 in the second list without knowing them for example ‘name1’ and 123 is user input

i have tried many things like using .index but i get an error TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

and tried many other things but none worked as i wanted

>Solution :

You can do the following:

list1 = ['name1', 'name2', 'name3']
list2 = [123, 1234, 12345]

name = input("name: ")
num = int(input("num: "))  # don't forget to convert to int

if (name, num) in zip(list1, list2):
    print("Yay")
else:
    print("Aww")
