Zip Two Lists Into Pairs and a Dict

Easy ⏱ 8 min 86% acceptance ★★★★★ 4.8

Write pair_names_and_scores(names, scores) that combines two equal-length lists into a list of (name, score) tuples using zip(), then also returns a dictionary built from those pairs. Return a tuple (pairs_list, pairs_dict).

Examples

Example 1

Input

names = ['Ana', 'Bo'], scores = [90, 75]

Output

([('Ana', 90), ('Bo', 75)], {'Ana': 90, 'Bo': 75})

Explanation

zip() pairs elements positionally; dict() turns pairs into a mapping.

Constraints

len(names) == len(scores)
0 <= len(names) <= 10^4
