Python: Exercises
4. The zip function. In Python, the zip() function can be used to combine multiple iterator
objects, such as lists.
If we have two lists, a and b, we can combine them with the command zip(a,b).
In this exercise, you will define two lists, zip them together, iterate over the zipped object, and print its values.
# Define a list of integers between 1 and 3.
integer_list = ___
# Define list of lists.
list_of_lists = [[1, 2], [], ["a",7]]
# Zip the list of integers and lists of lists together.
zipped_lists = ___
# Iterate over list and print values.
for element in zipped_list:
print(element)
# Define a list of integers between 1 and 3.
integer_list = [1, 2, 3]
# Define list of lists.
list_of_lists = [[1, 2], [], ["a",7]]
# Zip the list of integers and lists of lists together.
zipped_lists = zip(integer_list, list_of_lists)
# Iterate over list and print values.
for element in zipped_lists:
print(element)
test_object("integer_list")
test_function("zip")
success_msg("Excellent work. Notice that a for loop in Python doesn't use either an end statement or brackets.")
Remember that you can zip two iterators,
a and b together using the zip() function.Previous Exercise Next Exercise
