Pyhton: Retrieve the length of a list value that's within a list value
I recently picked up Python and I am alternating between this tutorial and a book called Automate The Boring Stuff With Python.
I find the book quite easy to understand and the exercises are fun.
There is one in particular that I just solved but honestly, I am not satisfied with my answer.
In the question, one is given a grid as follows:
grid = [['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.']]
Using loops only, one is then required to produce the following output:
..00.00..
.0000000.
.0000000.
..00000..
...000...
....0....
My solution (which works) to this problem is as follows:
for y in range(0,len(grid[0])):
for x in range(0, len(grid)):
print(grid[x][y], end='')
print()
My problem is the grid[0]. I have tried to generalize the code to accommodate scenarios in which the lists within grid are of different values, but failed.
My question, therefore, is how can I retrieve the len
of grid[0] in general variable terms?
In other words, how can I retrieve the length of a list within a list?

You don't actually need to retrieve length.
You can do it in one line without knowing dimensions:
print('n'.join(map(lambda x: ''.join(x), zip(*grid))))
Step by step:
zip(*grid)
will transpose your 2-d array
>>> list(zip(*grid))
[('.', '.', '0', '0', '.', '0', '0', '.', '.'),
('.', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'),
('.', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'),
('.', '.', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'),
('.', '.', '.', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'),
('.', '.', '.', '.', '0', '.', '.', '.', '.')]
map(lambda x: ''.join(x), zip(*grid))
will join every line
>>> list(map(lambda x: ''.join(x), zip(*grid)))
['..00.00..', '.0000000.', '.0000000.', '..00000..', '...000...', '....0....']
- And finally
'n'.join
joins with separator as new line
>>> print('n'.join(map(lambda x: ''.join(x), zip(*grid))))
..00.00..
.0000000.
.0000000.
..00000..
...000...
....0....
Note: we could also omit 3rd step by print
ing with sep='n
, however in Python3:
Why does map return a map object instead of a list in Python 3? and we would need to convert it to list
before printing it. Like so:
print(list(map(lambda x: ''.join(x), zip(*grid))), sep='n')

You don't need to convert yourzip

since you iterating over it.

If you look at your desired output, you'll observe that final
matrix is transpose
of your given list.
The transpose
of a matrix could be found by using numpy
transpose function.
You could use a list comprehension in combination with join
method in order to achieve what you want.
import numpy as np
transpose = np.array(grid).transpose()
print('n'.join([''.join(row) for row in transpose]))
Output
..00.00..
.0000000.
.0000000.
..00000..
...000...
....0....
I have heard of numpy but I am yet to use it. I will keep this mind, thank you very much.

If you really must get the length of a list in a list, just use len(grid[index])
:
for i in range(len(grid)):
for j in range(len(grid[i])):
print(mylist[i][j], end='')
print()
However, it is easier to to iterate over the elements of the list than to get the indexes of the list. For example, instead of the above solution, use
for row in mylist:
for element in row:
print(element, end='')
print()
add a comment |
Another way of doing this is to start by transposing the grid, then just loop over the elements of each row
grid = [['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.']]
grid2=zip(*grid)
# print(grid2)
for row in grid2:
for el in row:
print(el, end='')
print('n')
1
You don't actually need to convertgrid2
into alist
, since you can iterate over it.

For example taking the longes of all the content list:
>>> grid = [['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.'],
... ['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
... ['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
... ['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
... ['.', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0'],
... ['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
... ['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
... ['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
... ['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.']]
>>>
>>> max(map(len, grid))
6
BTW, a pythonic way of solving that (without loops) would look like this list(zip(*grid))
:
>>> for l in zip(*grid):
... print("".join(l))
...
..00.00..
.0000000.
.0000000.
..00000..
...000...
....0....

If you look at your desired output, you'll observe that final
matrix is transpose
of your given list.
The transpose
of a matrix could be found by using numpy
transpose function.
You could use a list comprehension in combination with join
method in order to achieve what you want.
import numpy as np
transpose = np.array(grid).transpose()
print('n'.join([''.join(row) for row in transpose]))
Output
..00.00..
.0000000.
.0000000.
..00000..
...000...
....0....
I have heard of numpy but I am yet to use it. I will keep this mind, thank you very much.

If you really must get the length of a list in a list, just use len(grid[index])
:
for i in range(len(grid)):
for j in range(len(grid[i])):
print(mylist[i][j], end='')
print()
However, it is easier to to iterate over the elements of the list than to get the indexes of the list. For example, instead of the above solution, use
for row in mylist:
for element in row:
print(element, end='')
print()

Another way of doing this is to start by transposing the grid, then just loop over the elements of each row
grid = [['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '.'],
['0', '0', '0', '0', '.', '.'],
['.', '0', '0', '.', '.', '.'],
['.', '.', '.', '.', '.', '.']]
grid2=zip(*grid)
# print(grid2)
for row in grid2:
for el in row:
print(el, end='')
print('n')

You don't actually need to convertgrid2

So, do you want a nice solution with
zip
or are we stuck to onlyfor
andprint
here? :)– timgeb
Nov 14 '18 at 8:32
Kind of confusing what exactly you are asking, but just do
len(grid(row_number))
– Tomothy32
Nov 14 '18 at 8:33
@Tomothy32 that's exactly what I did. But how would I loop through list values of varying length? Let's imagine that I do not know their lengths either.

@timgeb Thanks. The book is yet to introduce zip so just for/while and print.

Do you want something like
for sublist in grid: len(sublist)
?– Tomothy32
