Python How to pair two list by lambda and map

Question

For example, I have following two lists

listA=[\'one\', \'two\' , \'three\'] listB=[\'apple\',\'cherry\',\'watermelon\']

How can I pair those two lists to

Answer 1

specifically using map and lambda as asked...

list(map(lambda tup: ' '.join(list(tup)), zip(listA,listB)))

though I'd probably break that up to make it more readable

zipped   = zip(listA,listB)
tup2str  = lambda tup: ' '.join(list(tup))
result   = list(map(tup2str, zipped))
# ['one apple', 'two cherry', 'three watermelon']

EDITED - per comment below, listCombined = list(zip(listA,listB)) was a waste
