zip()

Theory

185/268

zip() is built into Python. You do not import it. Freshers only need one honest call and the printed result — not a long definition.

zip() — output — [('Asha', 90), ('Ravi', 85)]. Pair by position.

Wrong type often raises TypeError. Empty values matter for bool/all/any. Don’t mix zip up with a similar name (sorted vs sort, int vs float).

Exam tip

Call zip() once and say what prints.

# zip()
print(list(zip(["Asha", "Ravi"], [90, 85])))

zip() — output: [('Asha', 90), ('Ravi', 85)]. Pair by position.
