Modifying iterables with Itertools

import itertools

A = ["Aaron", "Clive", "Thomas", "Victor"]
B = ["Sharon", "Rossette", "Emily", "Alice", "Karen", "Shirley"]

# Zip Output
print("Using zip():")
for boy, girl in zip(A, B): # <-- ends after the 4th iteration
  print(f"{boy} is paired with {girl}")



print("\n")
print("Using zip_longest():")

iterator = itertools.zip_longest(A, B, fillvalue="Nobody") # <-- Set fillvalue for missing values

for boy, girl in iterator: # <-- ends after the 6th iteration
  print(f"{boy} is paired with {girl}")
