    What is zip function?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In the beginning, I explain briefly zip( ) function<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The z<\/span>ip() function is built-in function<\/span> in Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, We can use zip( ) function without “import”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The zip( ) function creates an iterator that will aggregate elements from multiple iterables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The zip( ) function is often used with the “for loop”, for example, to simultaneously get elements from multiple lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Basic usage of zip function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I show basic usage of zip(<\/span> <\/span>) function<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The zip( ) function takes iterables (such as list, tuple, etc.) as the arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n

    How to write<\/p>

    \n

    zip object = zip( iterator1, iterator2, iterator3 … )<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Here is an example code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange', 'Grape', 'Lemon']\nnumbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]\n\nzipped = zip(fruits, numbers)\nprint(zipped)\n# <zip object at 0x000001B37853ACC8>\n\nprint(list(zipped))\n# [('Apple', 1), ('Banana', 2), ('Orange', 3), ('Grape', 4), ('Lemon', 5)]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    > print(zipped)
    > # <zip object at 0x000001B37853ACC8><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    A zip object is generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    > print(list(zip_test))<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Since the elements cannot be checked as a zip object, they are converted to list type with the list( ) function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Use the zip( ) function with “for loop”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    The zip( ) function is often used with “for loop”<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    By using the zip( ) function, elements used within “for loop” can be got from multiple lists simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Here is an example of “for loop”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange', 'Grape', 'Lemon']\nnumbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]\n\nfor fruit, number in zip(fruits, numbers) :\n    print(fruit, number)\n# Apple 1\n# Banana 2\n# Orange 3\n# Grape 4\n# Lemon 5<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
