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

I took a run at this in pure JS wondering how the plugins posted above got the job done. Here's my result. I'll preface this by saying that I have no idea how stable this will be in IE and the like. It's just a quick mockup.

init();

function init() {
    var one = [0, 1, 2, 3];
    var two = [4, 5, 6, 7];
    var three = [8, 9, 10, 11, 12];
    var four = zip(one, two, one);
    //returns array
    //four = zip(one, two, three);
    //returns false since three.length !== two.length
    console.log(four);
}

function zip() {
    for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
        if (!arguments[i].length || !arguments.toString()) {
            return false;
        }
        if (i >= 1) {
            if (arguments[i].length !== arguments[i - 1].length) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    var zipped = [];
    for (var j = 0; j < arguments[0].length; j++) {
        var toBeZipped = [];
        for (var k = 0; k < arguments.length; k++) {
            toBeZipped.push(arguments[k][j]);
        }
        zipped.push(toBeZipped);
    }
    return zipped;
}

It's not bulletproof, but it's still interesting.
