Need to loop over two lists at the same time? zip() pairs them up nicely.

# Combine names and ages
names = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie']
ages = [25, 30, 35]
for name, age in zip(names, ages):
    print(f"{name} is {age} years old.")
# Output:
# Alice is 25 years old.
# Bob is 30 years old.
# Charlie is 35 years old.
