Suppose we have the two lists given below:

list$1=[\text{'}a\text{'},\text{'}b\text{'},\text{'}c\text{'}]$

list$2=[1,2,3]$

The expression

zip$($ list$1,$ list$2)$

produces the result:

$[[\text{'}$a$\text{'},1],[\text{'}$b$\text{'},2],[\text{'}$c$\text{'},3]]$

$[\text{'}$a$\text{'},\text{'}$b$\text{'},\text{'}$c$\text{'},1,2,3]$

$\{{(}^{\text{'}}a,1),{(}^{\text{'}}{b}^{\text{'}},2),{(}^{\text{'}}c,3)\}$

$[(\text{'}$a$\text{'},\text{'}$b$\text{'},\text{'}$c$\text{'}),(1,2,3)]$
