Parallel Iteration with zip()

The zip() function takes multiple iterables and aggregates them into a single iterator of tuples. It allows you to loop through two or more lists at the same time.

snippet.py
python
names = ['Alice', 'Bob']
scores = [85, 92]
 
for name, score in zip(names, scores):
    print(name)
    print(score)
