Python itertools module implements a number of iterator building blocks inspired by constructs from APL, Haskell, and SML. Each has been recast in a form suitable for Python. The module standardizes a core set of fast, memory efficient tools that are useful by themselves or in combination.

1. Write a Python program to create an iterator from several iterables in a sequence and display the type and elements of the new iterator.

7. Write a Python program to make an iterator that drops elements from the iterable as long as the elements are negative; afterwards, it returns every element.
