list expressions python code example

Example 1: python list comprehension

nums = [4, -7, 9, 1, -1, 8, -6]
half_of_nums = [x/2 for x in nums] #[2, -3.5, 4.5, 0.5, -0.5, 4, -3]

#optionally you can add an if statement like this
half_of_positive_nums = [x/2 for x in nums if x>=0] #[2, 4.5, 0.5, 4]

Example 2: list comprehension

# List comprehension 

        
list_comp = [i+3 for i in range(20)]

# above code is similar to 

for i in range(20):
	print(i + 3)
