This tutorial will show a Python zip() function that helps us perform a parallel iteration over multiple iterables.





Definition


zip() function takes iterables and iterates over them parallelly, which results in producing tuples of each item from the iterables.



items = ["Computer", "Keyboard", "CPU", "Mouse"]
units = [3, 2 …
