How zip Can Be Useful?

Explore how the Python zip function aggregates elements from multiple iterables by position, returning tuples. Learn to convert these tuples into dictionaries and understand practical use cases to enhance your coding with built-in functions.

The zip built-in takes a series of iterables and aggregates the elements from each of them.

Implementation of zip()

Let’s see what that means:

Python 3.5
keys = ['x', 'y', 'z']
values = [5, 6, 7]
print (zip(keys, values))
