How do I multiply lists together using a function?

Question

how do I multiply lists together in python using a function? This is what I have:

    list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
    def list_multiplication(list, value):
                  


        

Answer 1

If you have two lists A and B of the same length, easiest is to zip them:

>>> A = [1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> B = [5, 6, 7, 8]
>>> [a*b for a, b in zip(A, B)]
[5, 12, 21, 32]

Take a look at zip on its own to understand how that works:

>>> zip(A, B)
[(1, 5), (2, 6), (3, 7), (4, 8)]
