zip()

Sometimes you need to work with multiple iterable objects at the same time: for example, process data from two or three lists inside one loop. One of the approaches requires using the zip() function - it is a generator that transfroms the elements of the multiple iterable objects in tuples.

Run the following example to see how it works.

12345
amounts = [4, 1, 6, 5, 12, 2] goods = ['Milk', 'Apple', 'Oatmeal', 'Cucumber', 'Chocolate', 'Potato'] list_ = zip(amounts, goods) list_ = list(list_) # converting generator into list print(list_)
copy

Using zip() in the for loop helps you easy manage the values.

12345
amounts = [4, 1, 6, 5, 12, 2] goods = ['Milk', 'Apple', 'Oatmeal', 'Cucumber', 'Chocolate', 'Potato'] for amount, good in zip(amounts, goods): print(f'Got {amount} kg of {good} in the grocery shop.')
copy
