Mastering flat_map in Python with List Comprehension

Image
Introduction In Python, when working with nested lists or iterables, one common challenge is flattening them into a single list while applying transformations. Many programming languages provide a built-in flatMap function, but Python does not have an explicit flat_map method. However, Python’s powerful list comprehensions offer an elegant way to achieve the same functionality. This article examines implementation behavior using Python’s list comprehensions and other methods. What is flat_map ? Functional programming  flatMap is a combination of map and flatten . It transforms the collection's element and flattens the resulting nested structure into a single sequence. For example, given a list of lists, flat_map applies a function to each sublist and returns a single flattened list. Example in a Functional Programming Language: List(List(1, 2), List(3, 4)).flatMap(x => x.map(_ * 2)) // Output: List(2, 4, 6, 8) Implementing flat_map in Python Using List Comprehension Python’...

2 Tricky Examples Python List Comprehension

Here are the tricky examples of list comprehension. These examples useful for your project and interviews as well.

1. Printing odd numbers

Printing odd numbers

Reminder checking logic used here. If it is not equal to zero when you divide the number with 2, it treats the input number as odd and prints it.


lst1 = [x for x in range(40) if x % 2 != 0]
print('First 20 Odd Numbers:')
print(lst1)


2. Printing even numbers

Printing even numbers

Reminder checking logic used here. If it is equal to zero when you divide the number with 2, it treats the input number as even and prints it.

lst2 = [x for x in range(40) if x % 2 == 0]
print('First 20 Even Numbers:')
print(lst2)


Output from the Python scripts

First 20 Odd Numbers: 
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39]


First 20 Even Numbers: 
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38]
