rustHow to zip arrays in Rust?

Zipping two arrays in Rust can be done using the zip method from the Iterator trait. This method takes two iterators and returns a new iterator of tuples, where the first element of each tuple is taken from the first iterator, and the second element is taken from the second iterator.

Example code

let a = [1, 2, 3];
let b = [4, 5, 6];

let zipped = a.iter().zip(b.iter());

for t in zipped {
    println!("{:?}", t);
}

Output example

(1, 4)
(2, 5)
(3, 6)

Code explanation

• let a = [1, 2, 3];: creates an array a with elements 1, 2, and 3.
• let b = [4, 5, 6];: creates an array b with elements 4, 5, and 6.
• let zipped = a.iter().zip(b.iter());: creates a new iterator zipped by zipping the iterators of a and b.
• for t in zipped {: iterates over the tuples in zipped.
• println!("{:?}", t);: prints the tuple t in a debug format.
