zip dictionary python code example

Example 1: create dictionary python from two lists

>>> keys = ['a', 'b', 'c']
>>> values = [1, 2, 3]
>>> dictionary = dict(zip(keys, values))
>>> print(dictionary)
{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

Example 2: 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 3: how to zip numbers python

>>> 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')]
