Printing all the values from multiple lists at the same time
No need to use zip
, just add them together using the +
operator. l1 + l2 + l3
creates a new list that is the combination of l1
, l2
and l3
so you can simply loop through that, like so:
for f in l1+l2+l3:
print(f)
Your use of the and
operator is incorrect. The other reason why your code doesn't work is using commas (like l1, l2, l3
) creates a tuple, which is a container that now holds your 3 lists. So when you try to loop through l1, l2, l3
it will loop through every element in that tuple (which are the lists) and not through every element in the lists as you intend.
I think you might want zip
:
for x,y,z in zip(l1,l2,l3):
print x,y,z #1 4 7
#2 5 8
#3 6 9
What you're doing:
for f in l1,l2 and l3:
is a little strange. It is basically equivalent to for f in (l1,l3):
since l2 and l3
returns l3
(assuming that l2
and l3
are both non-empty -- Otherwise, it will return the empty one.)
If you just want to print each list consecutively, you can do:
for lst in (l1,l2,l3): #parenthesis unnecessary, but I like them...
print lst #[ 1, 2, 3 ]
#[ 4, 5, 6 ]
#[ 7, 8, 9 ]
