Python Grouped Flattening of list
In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that flattens a list that contains sub-lists. Given number flatten the sublists until the given number index as parts. Let's see an example to understand it clearly.
Input
lists = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8], [9, 10]] number = 2
Output
[[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10]]
Let's see the steps to solve the problem.
- Initialize the list and number.
- Initialize an empty list.
- Iterate over the list with range(0, len(lists), number.
- Get the sublists using slicing lists[i:number].
- Iterate over the sublists and append the resultant list to the result list.
- Print the result.
Example
# initializing the list lists = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8], [9, 10]] number = 2 # empty list result = [] # iterating over the lists for i in range(0, len(lists), number): # appending the lists until given number index each time result.append([element for sub_list in lists[i: i + number] for element in list]) # printing the result print(result)
Output
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
[[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10]]
Conclusion
