Does the exercise ask us to use the zip() function, or has that not even been taught yet? If not, then the task could be performed manually…

pizza_and_prices = [
  ['pepperoni', 2],
  ['pineapple', 6],
  ...
]

yup, per usual i got a head of myself :slight_smile:
so i learned map and zip . now i understand that ZIP returns an object, not a list so i can use map and list function to defin each zip object as a list creating 2D list .

thank you :slight_smile:

Yep, they want one to do this manually.
Prior to the revision of this lesson, it did include zip(). Now zip() is afterward.

Also, if you do a search for this topic here in the forums, there are many threads that discuss this very same issue.
