# Built-in Methods & Functions

The purpose of Python `zip()` method is to **map the similar index of multiple containers** so that they can be used just using as single entity.

> **Syntax :** zip(\*iterators)
>
> **Parameters :**\
> Python iterables or containers ( list, string etc )
>
> **Return Value :**\
> Returns a single iterator object, having mapped values from all the\
> containers.

```python
# Python code to demonstrate the working of 
# zip()
  
# initializing lists
name = [ "Manjeet", "Nikhil", "Shambhavi", "Astha" ]
roll_no = [ 4, 1, 3, 2 ]
marks = [ 40, 50, 60, 70 ]
  
# using zip() to map values
mapped = zip(name, roll_no, marks)
  
# converting values to print as set
mapped = set(mapped)
  
# printing resultant values 
print ("The zipped result is : ",end="")
print (mapped)
```
