I’m trying to figure out how to use filter to walk through a list.
If I try a simple scripts like this:
def greaterthanten (number):
#pdb.set_trace()
if (number > 10):
ret_val = 1
else:
ret_val = 0
return ret_val
old_list = [1,2,20,30,5]
new_list = filter(greaterthanten, old_list)
#new_list becomes [20, 30]
The script works as I would expect. However, what if I need to pass more
than one argument to the function? Can I do that with filter? Or does
filter work only with function that take only a single arg?
The latter. Other functions could be wrapped to bind all parameters
except the list element. Or write an explicit loop.
