List/dict/set comprehensions, generator expressions, and lazy iteration.
How to Split Data into Chunks and Use Generators in Python
Split a list into fixed-size chunks with a list comprehension and square even numbers lazily with a generator expression.
def split_numbers(data, chunk_size):
return [data[i:i + chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(data), chunk_size)]
def square_even_numbers(numbers):
return (n ** 2 for n in numbers if n % 2 == 0)
if __name__ == "__main__":
sample_data = list(range(1, 21))
chunks = split_numbers(sample_data, 5)
print…How to Use List Comprehensions and Generators to Transform Data in Python
Transform a list of integers by squaring even numbers with a list comprehension and cubing odd numbers with a generator.
def transform_data(data):
"""
Transform a list of integers:
- squares of even numbers using a list comprehension
- cubes of odd numbers using a generator
"""
squares = [num ** 2 for num in data if num % 2 == 0]
cubes = (num ** 3 for num in data if num % 2 != 0)
return squares, cubes
i…How to filter even numbers with a Python list comprehension
Build a new list of only the even numbers from 1 to 20 using a single list comprehension with a filter condition.
even_numbers = [num for num in range(1, 21) if num % 2 == 0]
print(even_numbers)List Comprehension to Filter Even Numbers in Python
Creates a new list containing only the even numbers from an existing list using a list comprehension with a condition.
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
even_numbers = [n for n in numbers if n % 2 == 0]
print(f"Original: {numbers}")
print(f"Even numbers: {even_numbers}")Browse by section
