How to iterate over nested alist in emacs lisp?

I want to iterate over this my-list. How to do it?

(setq my-list '[((a . 1) (b . 2))  ((c . 3))])
(loop for k in my-list do
  (cl-loop for (i . j) in k do
         (message "%c %d" i j)
)

I tried this but failed. error message is "symbol's value is void k."

This code works:

(let ((my-list [((a . 1) (b . 2)) ((c . 3))]))
    (cl-loop for k across my-list do
        (cl-loop for (i . j) in k do
            (message "%s %d" i j))))

(my-list is a vector of lists, not a list)

Some tips to keep in mind:

1. Literal Vectors vs. Lists: When declaring a literal vector, use square brackets [] without quotation:

   (equal '[1 2 3] [1 2 3]) ;; => t

2. When using cl-loop, use the across keyword for vectors, not in: (cl-loop for k across my-list do ...)

3. Lisp symbols vs. characters: In Lisp, symbols are different from characters. If you want to use characters (like the char type in C), use the ? notation:

   (message "%c" ?A) ;; => A

So, your vector should look like this:

(setq my-list [((?a . 1) (?b . 2)) ((?c . 3))])

When printing Lisp symbols, use the %s format specification:

(message "%s" 'hello)
;; => hello

4. Lisp Symbols as Variables and Values: Lisp symbols can be used both as variable names and as values. For example:

(setq my-var 'other-symbol)
(setq other-symbol 1)
(symbol-value my-var)
;; => 1
