title: <enumerate object at 0x7f0211ea2360>
body: <p>I ran the following code in Python3.5.2 and got the corresponding output </p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; example = ['a','b','c','d','e']
  &gt;&gt;&gt; enumerate(example)
  &lt;enumerate object at 0x7f0211ea2360&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm unable to understand what is the meaning of this output.Why didn't the output come like this</p>
  
  <pre><code> (0, 'a'), (1, 'b'), (2, 'c'), (3, 'd'), (4, 'e') 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When i used a list to contain these tuples the output was satisfactory</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; list(enumerate(example))
  [(0, 'a'), (1, 'b'), (2, 'c'), (3, 'd'), (4, 'e')]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note : I'm a newbie in python and when i posted this question i didn't know about map function so i didn't refer this question
