My code only applies to only two arguments but I'm hoping my code's on the right track. Any advice? Thanks!
# combo([1, 2, 3], 'abc')
# Output:
# [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
def combo(tuple1,tuple2):
tuple_list=[]
for i, letter in enumerate(tuple2,start=1):
number=tuple1[i]
finaltuple=(number,letter)
tuple_list.append(finaltuple)
return tuple_list

What is your thought process behind overriding the default value for enumerate's start
argument with the value 1
?
Cheers

18,975 PointsThanks for pointing that out. I don't see a need to do that. But I'm wondering how to make this function work on more than two arguments.

Python Development Techdegree Student 36,862 PointsHi Leo,
To make the function work with an arbitrary number of inputs, you would change the function signature from something like:
def combo(itr1, itr2):
to something like:
def combo(*args):
Then inside the function you could do something like:
You would use it like this:
Hope that makes sense,
Happy coding
