Hi Mario, here are some examples (using python3 but very similar in py2.7):
L = range(20)
>>> [x for x in L]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
[x for x in L if x<=10]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
[(x,x) for x in L]
[(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6), (7, 7), (8, 8),
(9, 9), (10, 10), (11, 11), (12, 12), (13, 13), (14, 14), (15, 15), (16,
16), (17, 17), (18, 18), (19, 19)]
[x*2 for x in L]
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38]
[(x, x*3) for x in L if x<=10]
[(0, 0), (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12), (5, 15), (6, 18), (7, 21), (8,
24), (9, 27), (10, 30)]
def strmul(x): return str(x), x*2
...
[strmul(x) for x in L if x<=10]
[('0', 0), ('1', 2), ('2', 4), ('3', 6), ('4', 8), ('5', 10), ('6', 12),
('7', 14), ('8', 16), ('9', 18), ('10', 20)]
Hope this helps!
