Creating Numbered List Of Output

How can I edit my code such that my output: the 8512 and 7759 i 6182 to 6027 a 4716 of 4619 he 2873 in 2846 you 2777 was 2

Solution 1:

You'd still use enumerate(); you didn't show how you used it but it but it solves your issue:

for index, (value,num) in enumerate(sorted_list, start=1):
    print("{}.\t{:<5}\t{:>5}".format(index, value,num))

I folded your str.ljust() and str.rjust() calls into the str.format() template; this has the added advantage that it'll work for any value you can format, not just strings.

Demo:

>>> word_list = '''\
... the      8512
... and      7759
... i        6182
... to       6027
... a        4716
... of       4619
... he       2873
... in       2846
... you      2777
... was      2457
... '''.splitlines()
>>> d = dict(line.split() for line in word_list)
>>> sorted_list = sorted(d.items(), key=lambda i: i[1], reverse=True)
>>> for index, (value,num) in enumerate(sorted_list, start=1):
...     print("{}.\t{:<5}\t{:>5}".format(index, value,num))
... 
1.  the      8512
2.  and      7759
3.  i        6182
4.  to       6027
5.  a        4716
6.  of       4619
7.  he       2873
8.  in       2846
9.  you      2777
10. was      2457
