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’...

Python Subset: How to Get Subset of Dictionary

Image
Here's a sample program to get the python subset. In this case, you'll find logic for dictionary subsets. Dictionary python To illustrate, I have taken a dictionary as below with keys and values. my_first_dict = { 'HP': 100 'IBM': 200 'NTT': 300 'ABC': 400 'GDF': 500 } I want to make a subset of values greater than 100 and less than 400. How can you achieve this? No worries, below, you will find the logic. Logic to get subset out of a dictionary I am using dictionary comprehension to achieve this. Syntax: sub_set = { key:value for key, value in my_first_dict.items() value >100 and value <400} Result References Python Programming: Using Problem-Solving Approach
