Slicing in a list element of string and also in each character of the list element

Question

I have the following code code:

people = ['Vianney', 'Mariana', 'Ignacio', 'Gaspar']
index = 0
for name in people:
    print(name, '\n')
    name1 = name
    for name in name1:
        print(name1[index], end =' ')
        if name[index] < name1[index]:
            index = index + 1
        else:
            break

I want to slice on a list of elements of string and also in each character of the list element selected. Using only for in in python

This is the result I got:

Vianney

V Mariana

M Ignacio

I Gaspar

G

and, I want this:

Vianney

V i a n n e y

from each element

Answer 1

It's unclear what you're trying to achieve with the index and the comparison.

It seems like all you want to do is:

people = ['Vianney', 'Mariana', 'Ignacio', 'Gaspar']

for name in people:
    print(name)  # print the name
    for character in name:
        print(character, end=' ')  # print each character from the name
    print()  # print a line ending after the letters and spaces

Output:

Vianney
V i a n n e y 
Mariana
M a r i a n a 
Ignacio
I g n a c i o 
Gaspar
G a s p a r
