Hi Team,
Can someone provide me the alternative code for below without using any built in functions.
def combo(arg1,arg2): tuple_list= list() arg3=zip(arg1,arg2) for element in arg3: tuple_list.append(element) return tuple_list
# combo([1, 2, 3], 'abc')
# Output:
# [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
# combo([1, 2, 3], 'abc')
# Output:
# [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
def combo(arg1,arg2):
tuple_list= list()
arg3=zip(arg1,arg2)
for element in arg3:
tuple_list.append(element)
return tuple_list
#print(combo([1, 2, 3],[2,5,6]))

def combo(arg1, arg2):
tuple_list = list()
for index, element in enumerate(arg1):
tuple_list.append((arg1[index], arg2[index]))
return tuple_list

7,190 PointsThanks for your reply. I have an additional question, does .append() takes two argument. From my understanding, it restricts to 1. Please confirm.

append()takes exactly one argument. The this case, the argument is a single tuple containing two items.
