[Tutor] Weird iteration using zip()

[Srinivas Iyyer]

Hi all:

Here is a simple code:

>>> a = ['a','b','c','d','e']
>>> b = [1,2,3,4,5]
>>> abdict = dict(zip(a,b))
>>> abdict
{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2, 'e': 5, 'd': 4}


Why is this weird iteration going on"

Why not:
>>> abdict
{'a':1,'b':2,'c':3,'d':4,'e':5}

Is there any hidden logic in the code that is making
abidct to have a , c, b, e, d  sequence?

Any explanation..? 
thanks
Sr
