Question

I’m a bit new to python.

how do i merge two lists (both strings) and join them accordingly in python?

Given the following input:

lista=['1','2','3']
listb=['a','b','c']

I would like the following output:

['1|a','2|b','3|c']

Answer 1

Assuming you actually meant to use strings, this should work:

>>> lista=[1,2,3]
>>> listb=['a','b','c']
>>> ["%s|%s" % (a,b) for a,b in zip(lista, listb)]
['1|a', '2|b', '3|c']
