zip in Python

Buy Me a Coffee

*Memos:

  • My post explains range().
  • My post explains enumerate().
  • My post explains variable assignment.
  • My post explains iterable unpacking in variable assignment.
  • My post explains * for iterable unpacking in variable assignment.
  • My post explains [] and () for variables in variable assignment.
  • My post explains [] and () for variables in for statement.

zip() can create the iterable which has zero or more iterables as shown below:
*Memos:

  • The 1st or more arguments are *iterables(Optional-Type:iterable). *Don't use any keywords like *iterables=, iterables=, iterable=, etc.
  • The iterable stops when the shortest input iterable is exhausted.
  • The iterable cannot be directly accessed with index so use list() to access it with index.
