traverse a list backwards python code example

Example 1: how to count backwards in for loop python

# for i in range(start, end, step)
for i in range(5, 0, -1):
    print(i)
5
4
3
2
1

Example 2: python iterate backwards through list

>>> a = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
>>> for i in reversed(a):
...     print(i)
... 

or

>>> for i, e in reversed(list(enumerate(a))):
...     print(i, e)
