    name: cartesian
    short_description: returns the cartesian product of lists
    description:
        - 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.

          - a set of lists
