How do I join 2 lists with elements side by side? For example:
list1 = ["they" , "are" ,"really" , "angry"]
list2 = ["they" , "are" ,"seriously" , "angry"]
I want output as:
list3 = [("they","they"),("are","are"),("really","seriously"),("angry","angry")]
The above looks like a list tuples though, and if the above list were columns with each word in a row, how would I append list2 to list1?
Use zip():
>>> list1 = ["they" , "are" ,"really" , "angry"]
>>> list2 = ["they" , "are" ,"seriously" , "angry"]
>>> list3 = zip(list1, list2)
>>> list3
[('they', 'they'), ('are', 'are'), ('really', 'seriously'), ('angry', 'angry')]
This is another solution,
>>> [ (val,list2[idx]) for idx, val in enumerate(list1)]
[('they', 'they'), ('are', 'are'), ('really', 'seriously'), ('angry', 'angry')]
By the way zip() is a good solution.
zipwill discard the remaining elements of the longer list. You can use itertools.izip_longest if this is the case.
