Can I put elements into zip using for loop instead manually with index number?

Question

data = [['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], [1, 2, 3, 4], [4, 5, 6, 7]]
result = zip(data[0], data[1], data[2])

You don't need loop or index you can just use in-place unpacking. `zip(*data)` — Mazdak, Jan 25 '18 at 12:36
Not sure why this got downvoted, although it was a duplicate it was a perfectly understandable question in itself. — Daniel Roseman, Jan 25 '18 at 12:38
@DanielRoseman It seems like people just downvote duplicate questions now. — RoadRunner, Jan 25 '18 at 12:42

You can use * to expand the list as arguments:

result = zip(*data)
