Javascript equivalent of Python's zip function

Question

Is there a javascript equivalent of Python\'s zip function? That is, given multiple arrays of equal lengths create an array of pairs.

For instance, if I have three

Answer 1

A variation of the lazy generator solution:

function* iter(it) {
    yield* it;
}

function* zip(...its) {
    its = its.map(iter);
    while (true) {
        let rs = its.map(it => it.next());
        if (rs.some(r => r.done))
            return;
        yield rs.map(r => r.value);
    }
}

for (let r of zip([1,2,3], [4,5,6,7], [8,9,0,11,22]))
    console.log(r.join())

// the only change for "longest" is some -> every

function* zipLongest(...its) {
    its = its.map(iter);
    while (true) {
        let rs = its.map(it => it.next());
        if (rs.every(r => r.done))
            return;
        yield rs.map(r => r.value);
    }
}

for (let r of zipLongest([1,2,3], [4,5,6,7], [8,9,0,11,22]))
    console.log(r.join())

And this is the python's classic "n-group" idiom zip(*[iter(a)]*n):

triples = [...zip(...Array(3).fill(iter(a)))]
