Zip lists in Python

Question

I am trying to learn how to \"zip\" lists. To this end, I have a program, where at a particular point, I do the following:

x1, x2, x3 = stuff.calculations(wi         


        

Answer 1

I don't think zip returns a list. zip returns a generator. You have got to do list(zip(a, b)) to get a list of tuples.

x = [1, 2, 3]
y = [4, 5, 6]
zipped = zip(x, y)
list(zipped)
