What is the zip function in python for?

  • 772

I'm doing OOP exercises with python and checking code I found this zip()

class pedido:
def __init__(self,productos,cantidades):
    self.__productos = productos
    self.__cantidades = cantidades

def total_pedido(self):
    total = 0

    for(p,c) in zip(self.__productos,self.__cantidades):
        total = total + p.calcular_Total(c)

here the method that shows the data

def mostrar_pedido(self):
    for(p,c) in zip(self.__productos,self.__cantidades):
        print("producto",p.nombre,"cantidad"+str(c))"""
python-3.x

    What the function does zip()is "package" the contents of the brackets, if you realize it is passing two parameters, this is quite useful to make more optimal and clean code and to avoid gimmicky functions

    for(p,c) in zip(self.__productos,self.__cantidades):
        total = total + p.calcular_Total(c)

    If we analyze that piece of code we have that the variable pis corresponding to self.__productoswhile the variable cis corresponding to self.__cantidadesin other words, it lets you iterate over the two objects side by side.
