zip using python code example

Example 1: python zip function

>>> numbers = [1, 2, 3]
>>> letters = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> zipped = zip(numbers, letters)
>>> zipped  # Holds an iterator object
<zip object at 0x7fa4831153c8>
>>> type(zipped)
<class 'zip'>
>>> list(zipped)
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]  #list of tuples  
# zip returns tuples

Example 2: zip python

>>> x = [1, 2, 3]
>>> y = [4, 5, 6]
>>> for t in zip(x, y):
...   print(t)
...
(1, 4)
(2, 5)
(3, 6)

Example 3: zip python

number_list = [1, 2, 3]
str_list = ['one', 'two', 'three']

# No iterables are passed
result = zip()

# Converting itertor to list
result_list = list(result)
print(result_list)

# Two iterables are passed
result = zip(number_list, str_list)

# Converting itertor to set
result_set = set(result)
print(result_set)

>>>[]
{(2, 'two'), (3, 'three'), (1, 'one')}

Example 4: python zip function

>>> letters = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> numbers = [0, 1, 2]
>>> for l, n in zip(letters, numbers):
...     print(f'Letter: {l}')
...     print(f'Number: {n}')
...
Letter: a
Number: 0
Letter: b
Number: 1
Letter: c
Number: 2
