How does itertools.zip work in Python?

Can you explain how itertools.zip works in Python?

Sure! itertools.zip is a function that combines elements from multiple iterables into tuples.

Can you give me an example of how to use it?

Of course! Here's a simple example: import itertools; result = list(itertools.zip([1, 2, 3], ['a', 'b', 'c'])) will give you [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')].

What happens if the iterables are of different lengths?

If the iterables are of different lengths, itertools.zip will stop creating tuples when the shortest iterable is exhausted.

Can I use it with more than two iterables?

Yes, you can! You can pass as many iterables as you want to itertools.zip, and it will combine them all.
