xlabels = ["first", "second", "third", "fourth"]
Is there a way to step through a list comprehension by 2?
for i in range(0,len(xlabels)):
xlabels[i]=""
becomes ["" for i in xlabels]
It turns the list into blanks. output: ["","","",""]
what about?:
for i in range(0,len(xlabels),2):
xlabels[i]=""
I want to turn every other item in the list into a blank. output: ["", "second", "", "fourth"]
Personally, I'd use a list slice and list comprehension together:
>>> full_list = ['first', 'second', 'third', 'fourth', 'fifth']
>>> [element for element in full_list[::2]]
['first', 'third', 'fifth']
You are on the right track by using range()
with step. List comprehensions tend to create a new list instead of modifying the existing one. However, you can still do the following instead:
>>> xlabels = [1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> [xlabels[i] if i % 2 != 0 else '' for i in range(len(xlabels))]
['', 2, '', 4]
Unless you need it to be more general, you could also do this:
>>> xlabels = ["first", "second", "third", "fourth"]
>>> [i%2 * label for i, label in enumerate(xlabels)]
['', 'second', '', 'fourth']
