zip

Synopsis

zip(seq,*seqs)

Returns a list of tuples, where the nth tuple contains the nth element from each of the argument sequences. zip is called with n iterable objects as arguments (where n is greater than 0). If the iterable objects have different lengths, zip returns a list as long as the shortest iterable, ignoring trailing items in the other iterable objects. See also map in this section.
