Python iterate over two lists simultaneously
foreach, iteration, list, python, python-2.7
Solution
You can use the `zip()` function to pair up lists:
for x, y in zip(a, b):
Demo:
>>> a = [1,2,3]
>>> b = [4,5,6]
>>> for x, y in zip(a, b):
... print x, y
...
1 4
2 5
3 6
Problem
Is there a way in python to forloop over two or more lists simultaneously? Something like ``` a = [1,2,3] b = [4,5,6] for x,y in a,b: print x,y ``` to output ``` 1 4 2 5 3 6 ``` I know that I can do it with tuples like ``` l = [(1,4), (2,5), (3,6)] for x,y in l: print x,y ```
