zipWith analogue in Python?
map()
map(operator.add, [1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1])
Although a LC with zip() is usually used.
[x + y for (x, y) in zip([1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1])]
You can create yours, if you wish, but in Python we mostly do
list_c = [ f(a,b) for (a,b) in zip(list_a,list_b) ]
as Python is not inherently functional. It just happens to support a few convenience idioms.
You can use map:
>>> x = [1,2,3,4]
>>> y = [4,3,2,1]
>>> map(lambda a, b: a**b, x, y)
[1, 8, 9, 4]
