multiplying indeces

[v13tn1g]

say i have L=[1,2,3] and L2=[2,3,4], how i i write a function that multiplies the same indeces together and return as a list?....the answer to the example would be [2,6,12]..

Just made an empty list and wrote a function to mulitply and put the answer into the list.

L = [1,2,3]
L2 = [2,3,4]
multList = []

def multInde():
    multList.append(L[0]*L2[0])
    multList.append(L[1]*L2[1])
    multList.append(L[2]*L2[2])

multInde()
print multList

A list comprehension with some zip in it,

>>> l1 =[1,2,3]
>>> l2 = [2,3,4]
>>> [l[0]*l[1] for l in zip(l1,l2)]
[2, 6, 12]
>>>

Interesting; I didn't know about zip. Another solution:

[L[i] * L2[i] for i in xrange(len(L))]

My contribution, using zip().

>>> L1=[1,2,3]
>>> L2=[2,3,4]
>>> [a+b for a, b in zip(L1, L2)]
[3, 5, 7]
>>>
