Print x Elements from a list in a for loop-CodePudding

I am trying to output only 3 elements from the list to the console at once, when user clicks enter I want to display 3 more until the end of the list but every time the loop enters the else clause I lose one element. I checked if the list was correct and it was, it had all the elements in it. How can I fix this?

def print_logs(self, logs: dict):
    display_count = 0
    for key, val in logs.items():
        for entry in val:
            if display_count < int(self.configuration["num_lines"]):
                print(entry)
                display_count  = 1
            else:
                input()
                display_count = 0

CodePudding user response：

You are not "losing" an element. When you enter the else statement, you are simply not doing anything with the current value of the iterator.

To fix your issue, I would suggest to do this:

def print_logs(self, logs: dict):
display_count = 0
for key, val in logs.items():
    for entry in val:
        print(entry)
        display_count  = 1
        if display_count == int(self.configuration["num_lines"]):
            input()
            display_count = 0
