+### Interleave
+
+Round-robbin alternating input slices and sequentially appending value at index into result.
+
+```go
+interleaved := lo.Interleave[int]([]int{1, 4, 7}, []int{2, 5, 8}, []int{3, 6, 9})
+// []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
+```
+
 ### Shuffle
 
 Returns an array of shuffled values. Uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm.
