This function takes multiple iterable objects and combines them into an iterator. If the iterables have different lengths, missing values are filled with `fillvalue`.

def zip_longest(*args, fillvalue=None):
    # This function takes several iterables (at least two) and returns an iterator that aggregates elements from each of the iterables.
    # If the iterables are of uneven length, missing values are filled-in with `fillvalue`.

    return list(zip_longest(*args, fillvalue=fillvalue))
