[erlang-questions] [erlang-question] How to comprehend two lists synchronously?

[Dmitry Demeshchuk]

My guess is you have to zip them together, or just write a
tail-recursed function:

map2(Fun, [H1 | T1], [H2 | T2]) ->
    [Fun(H1, H2) | map2(Fun, T1, T2)];
map2(Fun, [], []) ->
    [].

The second option definitely isn't a list comprehension, but it
requires less memory and has lesser complexity.
