Merge Lists with Python

Question

If I had two lists like these

["John", "Jim", "Jimmy"]

["100", "200", "300"]

How would I be able to merge the lists so that the first item in each list matches up with the other first item and so on like this

["John100", "Jim200", "Jimmy300"]

```["".join(elem) for elem in zip(first_list, second_list)]``` — hchandad, May 27 '20 at 23:05
l1 = ["John", "Jim", "Jimmy"]; l2 = ["100", "200", "300"]; l3 = [i+j for (i,j) in zip(l1,l2)]; print(l3); — Wagner Cipriano, May 27 '20 at 23:05

Use zip() for this:

list1 = ["John", "Jim", "Jimmy"]
list2 = ["100", "200", "300"]

merged = [l1 + l2 for l1, l2 in zip(list1, list2)]

print(merged)

Output:

['John100', 'Jim200', 'Jimmy300']
