rustHow to zip vectors of different lengths in Rust?

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

Example code

let v1 = vec![1, 2, 3];
let v2 = vec![4, 5];

let zipped: Vec<_> = v1.iter().zip(v2.iter()).collect();

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

Output example

[(1, 4), (2, 5)]

Code explanation

• let v1 = vec![1, 2, 3];: creates a vector v1 with elements 1, 2, and 3.
• let v2 = vec![4, 5];: creates a vector v2 with elements 4 and 5.
• let zipped: Vec<_> = v1.iter().zip(v2.iter()).collect();: creates a new vector zipped by zipping the two vectors v1 and v2 using the zip method from the Iterator trait. The zip method takes two iterators and returns a new iterator of pairs, where the first element of each pair is taken from the first iterator, and the second element is taken from the second iterator.
• println!("{:?}", zipped);: prints the vector zipped to the console.
