Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! @24 and 26, this is not true. Your for loop would only skip one index if you defined it like "for i in range(0, 10)". The syntax with "for item in list" never skips an index.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! To all the people saying list comprehensions are bad because they are hard to understand, I beg to differ.The only reason you might think that is because you are used to the long form version and once you get used to list comprehensions they are much much more readable and practical, because instead of drawing out the same info it is super compact. Also because it describes what you want instead of how to get what you want.LCs are even more useful for more complex things like if you want to apply a function to transform the elements.# generate first 10 squaressquares10 = [num * num for num in range(1,11)] Super simple and long form version is:>>> squares10 = []>>> for num in range(1,11):... squares10.append(num*num)Way longer, easier to make a mistake, and less descriptive.nested LCs are also fantastic and pay off even more. To give very simple example, imagine you want to generate a big list of possible names for bots or anonymous users, etc.>>> adjectives = ["Happy", "Angry", "Hungry"]>>> animals = ["Lion", "Zebra", "Hippo"]>>> names = [adj + animal for adj in adjectives for animal in animals]>>> names['HappyLion', 'HappyZebra', 'HappyHippo', 'AngryLion', 'AngryZebra', 'AngryHippo', 'HungryLion', 'HungryZebra', 'HungryHippo']P.S. I know there are other ways to enumerate possible combinations. This is mostly just an example, but one ting to keep in mind is that LCs are more versatile.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! Here's another way to generate the same list. It may be more useful if you have a big list or if you have a big function to filter the elements.x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,3,3,4,5,4,3]y = filter(lambda value: value != 3, x)The filter function works calling the first parameter passed to it (the lambda function in this case). The lambda function returns true if x is not equal to 3. If it's 3, the lambda function returns false and filter won't include it in the new iterator.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! yeah. i noticed it while i was going through the python documentation. Honestly it seems that list comprehentions aren't that useful because you can only add and remove things in a list by making a new list. I think that if you're going to add something to a list you better off using the append method or if you're going to combine 2 lists together just use the extend methods. It might be good to use tlist comprehentions if your'e going to do really simple expressions with them but once you want to do more complicated code you're just better off writing stuff on seperat lines and using the built in methods for lists. Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! I think if you want to use nested list comprehensions, you should really write the longer versions with for and if. While it might seem very cool to create a list and then imediately create another out of that first list in one single line, you'll never understand your code ever again Besides, most times, you can avoid nested lc's by simply using more conditional statements in one lc.

Your examples are a bit broken, I figured you'd find it pretty amusing if I pointed it out So your first one, for item in x: if item>3: x.remove(item) will remove every other item that is greater than 3. x = [item for item in x if item>3] will keep every item in the list that is greater than 3 and remove everything that is less than or equal to 3. I'm guessing in your first example with the if statements you were trying to remove everything greater than 3 and not every other thing, and I'm assuming you wanted to do the same in your second example so I believe you wanted this.x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]#or, this ones for everybody x=list(range(1,14))#example 1for item in list(x): if item>3: x.remove(item)#example 2x = [item for item in x if item<=3]Anyway this isn't me trying to be cocky or anything to anyone who would think so, I just know that if I did this Paul would also commence some friendly trolling in my direction URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/437271/#p437271 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! Part of what bakes this tricky is that lists or arrays are actually pointers. Even though python touts the fact its a high level language that you don't have to worry about pointers and memory, in reality you kind of still do. personally i still like the more verbose version. its easier to read and much clearer as to what is actually going on. this goes for new programmers if you are collaborating with people and yourself 6 months or a ear down the road when you try and comprehend what the hell you wrote that one night. also good commenting can solve this too. if you are finding yourself writing a comment to explain what a tricky or clever bit or code does, there almost always will be a clearer way to write it. comments should explain why you wrote code like you did and your thought processes behind it.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! List comprehension generates a new list, it doesn't modify the original. It's useful if you want a subset of an existing list without wanting to modify that list. If you assign the new list to the same variable though then you could just as well remove it from the original, it doesn't really matter. Post 9 also has a good point, saying y=x in that example won't actually create a copy of x, it will only create a new reference to x. So if you modify y, the same will happen to x. If you want to create a new copy you need to do something like y =x[:], where the colon is used to slice lists (but using it without any other parameters will return the whole list).

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! I think this question is less about syntax and more about fundamentals of programming.Whenever you create a list in memory, you assign it a reference variable. If you make a modification to that object in memory, what you're really doing is copying its data in tandem with whatever change you made and creating a new object in memory. Reference variables point to memory addresses rather than objects (or data to make this less confusing). This is seemless to us, and it's all under the hood so to speak. Take the the following code:x = [1, 2, 3, ...]y = xBoth x and y reference the same list. All you did was assign y to the same memory address that x is assigned to.I highly recommend looking into the object-oriented side of programming, especially if you're using any of the more modern-day languages like Python.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! @5 That is what is happening@3 That code is a list comprehension, which is kind of a for loop.

All this is doing is repeating the item variable through x. If item is not equal to 3, it adds the number from x to the new list. If item is 3, it just does nothing because the condition if item != 3 is false. The two lists (x and y) are two completely different objects in the same way as two ints are different, even though they may hold the same number as a value. To remove all the 3's from x directly, you'd have to call some method on x, such as x.remove(3) multiple times or do it some other way.The reason the list changed originally in your example was because you set x equal to the new list.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! ok, sorry for the double post, but I really, still don't get what the purpose is.Like, I'm reading the code and... just not getting it.Maybe this is a learning thing for me.Are you saying list1 is this, and you want list2 to be list1 but without the 3's?I think the shorthand confused me, again, sorry for the double post URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/436877/#p436877 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! So I have my own question here.The code above looks very, very compact.Why not use this?l=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]for x in l: if(x==3): l.remove(x)I mean you can also do:while(3 in l): l.remove(3)but eh whatever. Same difference.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! Right, but what happens to all the elements that contain three? Are they simply gone? To put it in another way, what is the difference between building a copy of a list and removing an item from it URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/436873/#p436873 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! you use [a for item instead of [item for item. Think of it like a for loop, the variable being referred to has to be the one looping through the list. Also keep in mind that you aren't removing anything from the list when using a list comprehension. In this case you're building a copy of the old list that does not contain 3.
