Zip - Intermediate Python Programming p.8

The zip function iterates through multiple iterables, and aggregates them. Consider you have two lists, and you instead want them to be one list, where elements from the shared index are together. While simple, there are a few important notes to make when working with it!

Never knew that Python would overwrite your variable if you used it as an iterator. I could see how that would lead to a bad day of debugging.

I didnt know if I would use this until today when I had to write values from different lists as a row in csv. Neat tutorial!

Update late 2018:
This bug for stored temp variable value in list compression has been resolved its been working now ....

[AntonioAndrade]

oh, I think you forgot to add c into your print function at minute 2:15 :-)

Makes me happy when i see a new tutorial !! thanks

Wow, zip is actually a tool to transpose a matrix. That's super useful!

WHAT IS GOING ON EVERYBODY :D :D :D
So funny to hear that introduction every single time hahahaha

You can print the zip tuples without temp parameters, e.g. print(*zip(x, y), sep='\n'). Should produce the same output...

The hell kinda keyboard layout are you using that you typo x as xm and y as yk :P

[AlexKazaak]

what does the 0x00001Ea72... whatever part of the object mean when you print it at 2:30? is it the memory location?

[codedummydev]

you know you a geek when you wear a python jacket lol

[winecheese]

Could you show us the uses of global variable?

Hey Harrison, just wondering when you're going to show the 'yield' keyword :)

print zip(xyz)
Output: [(1, 7, 'a'), (2, 6, 'b'), (3, 2, 'c'), (4, 1, 'd')]

It is giving me list and not an object. Is this because Python 2.7.8

[nikunjparmar]

[print(x, y) for x, y in zip(x, y)] is not right way to print things, it'll generate unwanted list of 'None' value like ['None', 'None', 'None', 'None' ] . zip(x, y) will generate comma separeted values of tuple, so you can not use [print(x, y) for x, y in zip(x, y)], it's better to use [print(*i) for i in zip(x, y)]. Still don't use above mathod for printing anything.

t=[1, 2, 3, 4, 566, 7, 88, 9]
r=[4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
xyz=zip(t, r)
print(dict(xyz))
print(list(xyz))
Output is
{1: 4, 2: 5, 3: 6, 4: 7, 566: 8, 7: 9}
[]
why is it giving the empty list as output?

[kebakent]

I usually just do list of my lists, and index them like mylist[5][6]. I don't really see the benefit of zip, from what you presented.

[blazetechnogeeks]

first_name = input('Enter First name: ')
last_name = input('Enter Last name: ')
middle_name = input('Enter Middle name: ')

for a, b, c in zip(first_name, middle_name, last_name):
print(a, b, c)


In this case it prints only the first letter of the input not the entire zip. need help

wr, no temptx by that, the cx doesn't l grex, nonerx, can sx answex anyx by anyx no matter wx

Do a tutorial on how to open zip files with python code. EVERYONE PLEASE UP COMMENT THIS
