How can I merge the two lists in one by selecting 1st element from 1st list 2nd element from second list 2nd element...and then 3rd element from 1st list 3rd element
list 1=[a,b,c,d,e,f,] and
list 2=[g,h,i,j,k,l]
the required list is
list 3=[a,h,c,j,e,l]
in Python

I tried slicing with two loop it doesn't work for me

  • There are fundamentally two ways to approach the problem: we can iterate through the lists in parallel (first duplicate), so that we consider each pair of values (a vs g, b vs h, etc), and use some logic to choose the right one each time through the loop. Or we can take the appropriate slices of the lists (a, c, e and h, j, l) like the third duplicate, and interlace them like in the second duplicate. – Karl Knechtel Feb 23 '23 at 13:14

list3 = []
for i in range(0,len(list1),2):
    list3.append(list1[i])
    list3.append(list2[i+1])
