zip in Python

Buy Me a Coffee☕

zip() can create an iterable by combining multiple iterables as shown below:
*Memos:

• The iterable stops when the shortest input iterable is exhausted.
• The iterable cannot be directly accessed with index so use list() to access it with index.

fruits = ["Apple", "Orange", "Banana", "Kiwi", "Lemon", "Mango"]
meats = ["Chicken", "Beef", "Pork", "Duck", "Mutton"]
vegetables = ["Onion", "Carrot", "Garlic", "Spinach", "Eggplant"]
