Changing for loop to while loop for non-range for loops
for item in lst[0:]:
temp1 = int(item[1])
temp2 = int(item[2])
Here is a block of code representing the item for each element in the list.
How would I change it so it searches through each item in the list but using a while loop?
python for-loop while-loop

This is perfectly fine as aforloop. Why mess with that? And what have you tried? What specifically do you need help with?

Here's what you have:
for item in lst:
temp1 = int(item[1])
temp2 = int(item[2])
If you wanted to use list indexes instead of the list items themselves, you could instead do this:
for idx in range(len(lst)):
temp1 = int(lst[idx][1])
temp2 = int(lst[idx][2])
where range() essentially returns a list [1, 2, 3, ...] that gets iterated through (the actual way it works is more complicated, but you get the idea). Making a while loop is more or less the same, except that you have to do the iteration yourself using arithmetic:
idx = 0
end = len(lst)
while idx < end:
temp1 = int(lst[idx][1])
temp2 = int(lst[idx][2])
idx += 1
