Question

i have the following lists in python which i want to recombine into a dictionary/list:

names = ['banana','grapefruit','apple']
colors = ['yellow','pink','green']

to

fruits = [
{'name':'banana','color':'yellow'}, 
{'name':'grapefruit','color':'pink'},
{'name':'apple','color':'green'}
]

what’s the best way to do it? i’m currently tying my brain up in knots trying to write loops.

please help! 🙂

fruits = [{"name": name, "color": color} for name, color in zip(names, colors)]
