Need to understand the way enumerate() function works
#1
Hello Friends, I am a novice and trying to understand how the various python functions work. Please help me understand how enumerate() function works. I have tried some code by my own to get the concepts clear. If someone can explain how the function has worked after the change, it will be helpful

<<<< CODE START >>>>


>>> def printStuff(Stuff):
	"""First definition of the function"""
	for i,s in enumerate(Stuff):
		print("Album ", i," Rating is", s)

		
>>> album_ratings = [10.0, 8.5, 9.5]

>>> printStuff(album_ratings)
Album  0  Rating is 10.0
Album  1  Rating is 8.5
Album  2  Rating is 9.5


>>> def printStuff(Stuff):
	"""Second definition of the function"""
	for i,s in enumerate(Stuff):
		print("Album ", enumerate(Stuff)," Rating is", s)

		
>>> printStuff(album_ratings)
Album  <enumerate object at 0x0000016C807731B0>  Rating is 10.0
Album  <enumerate object at 0x0000016C807731B0>  Rating is 8.5
Album  <enumerate object at 0x0000016C807731B0>  Rating is 9.5
