lists zip loops

How it works

zip(a, b) stops at the shorter sequence — handy when lists are the same length.

Unpack with for x, y in zip(...) or convert to a list of tuples for inspection.

Useful for combining names with scores, keys with values, or CSV columns.

Python

names = ["Ada", "Grace", "Katherine"]
scores = [98, 95, 100]

for name, score in zip(names, scores):
    print(f"{name}: {score}")

print(list(zip(names, scores)))
