Questions for: Generators

How does the itertools.zip_longest() function behave when used with generators?
A:
It creates pairs of values from the generators
B:
It combines values from the generators until the shortest one is exhausted
C:
It stops the generators after one iteration
D:
It interleaves values from different generators
Answer: B
itertools.zip_longest() combines values from multiple generators until the shortest generator is exhausted. It fills missing values with a specified fill value.
