+A new built-in function, \function{enumerate()}, will make
+certain loops a bit clearer.  \code{enumerate(thing)}, where
+\var{thing} is either an iterator or a sequence, returns a iterator
+that will return \code{(0, \var{thing[0]})}, \code{(1,
+\var{thing[1]})}, \code{(2, \var{thing[2]})}, and so forth.  Fairly
+often you'll see code to change every element of a list that looks
+like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+for i in range(len(L)):
+    item = L[i]
+    # ... compute some result based on item ...
+    L[i] = result
+\end{verbatim}
 
+This can be rewritten using \function{enumerate()} as:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+for i, item in enumerate(L):
+    # ... compute some result based on item ...
