Again, let’s return to our class height example:
- Jenny is 61 inches tall
- Alexus is 70 inches tall
- Sam is 67 inches tall
- Grace is 64 inches tall
Suppose that we already had a list of names and a list of heights:
If we wanted to create a list of lists that paired each name with a height, we could use the command zip. zip takes two (or more) lists as inputs and returns an object that contains a list of pairs. Each pair contains one element from each of the inputs. You won’t be able to see much about this object from just printing it:
because it will return the location of this object in memory. Output would look something like this:
To see the nested lists, you can convert the zip object to a list first:
returns:
Instructions
Use zip to create a new variable called names_and_dogs_names that combines names and dogs_names into a zip object.
Make sure to run the code for this step before proceeding to the next instruction!
Create a new variable named list_of_names_and_dogs_names by calling list() on names_and_dogs_names. Print this new variable .
