Issue using two loops in python

Question

Hey currently I'm dealing with for loops issue with my code and wondering if any of you can give me any insight

I'm trying to print text from a 2 files, and kind of merged them when printing. Two of the files contain the same amount of lines.

Here's my code so far:

links = open("link.txt", "r")
names = open("name.txt", "r")

for link in links:
    for name in names:
        print(link.strip(), "=", name.strip())

The loop for the name actually working, but the link doesnt, it stuck on the first line

Answer 1

If the files have the same number of lines:

links = open("link.txt", "r")
names = open("name.txt", "r")

for link,name in zip(links,names):
    print(link.strip(), "=", name.strip())
