my code works but I cannot pass,,,

Please tell me the problem and why is it the case.

combo.py 
# combo([1, 2, 3], 'abc')
# Output:
# [(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]

def combo(iterable1, iterable2):
    result_list = []
    while True:
        if len(iterable1) != 0 and len(iterable2) != 0:
            result_list.append((iterable1.pop(), iterable2.pop()))
        else:
            break
    return result_list

How did you get your code to run? I copy and pasted your code and got the error about the "str"

The error that I get is that "str" has no pop(). That makes sense because I keep hearing we can not change strings, they are immutable.
