Why the IDE cannot show the result of zip function?

[Tony]

Here is my codes,I am trying to zip two lists

a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]

print(zip(a,b))

It just printed the location

Error:
<zip object at 0x10c6b2488>

May i ask why is it so?

zip function returns a zip object, which is an iterator. Iterators are a somewhat broader subject, but you can find an overview to catch up, such as this one.
If you want to display the zip object as a list, convert it to a list with:

print(list(zip(a,b)))
