zip() — Advanced Examples

Combines multiple iterables element-wise into tuples

zip() protocol implementation

Implementing the protocol that zip() uses under the hood.

python

# zip() - implementing the protocol
class Custom:
    def __zip__(self):
        return "custom result"

obj = Custom()
print(zip(obj))

Understanding the dunder methods that zip() calls helps you customize behavior for your own classes.

Handling unusual inputs and edge cases.

python

# zip() edge cases
print("Edge case handling for zip()")

# Type checking
print(type(42))

Knowing these edge cases prevents subtle bugs in production.
