+```python
+zip(*iterables, strict=False)
+```
+
+> Iterate over several iterables in parallel, producing tuples with an item from each one.
+
+```python
+a = zip([1, 2, 3], ["sugar", "spice", "everything nice"])
+print(a)  # -> <zip object at 0x7f34987f4380>
+
+for item in zip([1, 2, 3], ["sugar", "spice", "everything nice"]):
+    print(item)
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```python
+(1, 'sugar')
+(2, 'spice')
+(3, 'everything nice')
+```
