I am to write code so that when I run the program, user input can write a couple of numbers and return the value of those numbers negated. Example, user calls the function with this:
neg([1, 2, -3, 54, -9])
And that will result in this output:
[-1, -2, 3, -54, 9]
I'm having trouble finding the right coding to solve this issue. I'm grateful for all help.
You can multiple the values of each item by -1
to get the negative.
>>> mylist = [-1,2,-3,-4.6,0]
>>> neg_list = [-x for x in mylist]
>>> neg_list
[1, -2, 3, 4.6, 0]
You can see that this works for both positive and negative values within the list. It keeps 0
at 0
lst = [1, 2, -3, 54, -9]
def neg(lst):
for i in range(len(lst)):
lst[i] *= -1
return lst
print neg(lst)
All you need to do is get the "inverse" of each item in the list, map
will do just that for you:
In [1]: map(lambda item: -item, [1, 2, -3, 54, -9])
Out[1]: [-1, -2, 3, -54, 9]
