cartesian – returns the cartesian product of lists¶
Synopsis¶
- Takes the input lists and returns a list that represents the product of the input lists.
- It is clearer with an example, it turns [1, 2, 3], [a, b] into [1, a], [1, b], [2, a], [2, b], [3, a], [3, b]. You can see the exact syntax in the examples section.

- name: loops over the cartesian product of the supplied lists

Hint
Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
