Return a list inside a for loop while iterating over the elements of another list

0 votes

When I run the following code:

for elems1 in L1:
   ---some-actions---
   for val in value:
      result = val1,val2,val3
      L2.append(result)
      print(L2)

   #additional tasks 
   for vals in L2:
        ---additional-tasks to be performed---

And print (L2) I get the output as :

['val1']
['val1','val2'] 
['val1','val2','val3'] 

I need to iterate over the values of these two lists in nested for loops but it is printing thrice and separating each value. why?

The print() is getting called multiple times as it is inside the loop. Put it outside the loop as such :

for val in value:
      result = val1,val2,val3
      L2.append(result)
print(L2)
