Zip with tuples and list

Question

I need to write a code that will return the characters of two strings as a list of tuples. The code should stop when either one of the strings runs out of characters. I know is a simple code but I cannot get to work where it gives me more than just the first character.

it should look like this:

>>> twoStrings('Good', 'Morning') 
[('G', 'M'), ('o', 'o'), ('o', 'r'),('d', 'n')]

so far this is the code I have

def twoStrings(string1,string2):
    for i in zip(string1,string2):
        return [i]

but if I try to run it I only get this back:

[('G', 'M')]

can you please help me?

Answer 1

To correct your code, here is the fix:

def twoStrings(string1,string2):
        return zip(string1,string2)

Answer 2

This may be as simple as simply using zip on the two given strings.

print zip('Good', 'Morning')
>>> [('G', 'M'), ('o', 'o'), ('o', 'r'), ('d', 'n')]
