How do I access the 1st element of each list in a lists of lists
<p>Example:</p>

<pre><code>numbers = ['1','2','3']
letters = ['a','b','c']
</code></pre>

<p>I want to get [1,a] as a results. Yeah I can loop through it, but I'm wondering if there is a fast one line way of doing this.</p>

<p>EDIT EDIT !!!!</p>

<p>I made a horrible mistake in describing the problem.</p>

<p>I have access to the combined list (the list of lists of the question):</p>

<pre><code>list_of_lists = [ numbers, letters]
</code></pre>

<p>which is equal to:</p>

<pre><code>[ ['1','2','3'],['a','b','c']]
</code></pre>

<p>Sorry for the confusion. The end result is still the same, this would be ['1','a'].</p>
