zip and zip_longest.

mZips, or just "Zips" are 3 minute or less mCoding Python, C++, and math videos for content that just can't (or shouldn't) be stretched to a normal 7-10 minutes timescale.

In this mZip, we look at the Python builtin zip function and a related zip_longest function. Zip has been updated with a new feature added in Python 3.10.

*Erratum*: Despite being listed in the list of "Built-in Functions" in the zip documentation, type(zip) confirms zip is just a class, not a function, and zip(x, y) is instantiating an instance of that class.
