I have two lists of strings.
A = ['HKO', 'HKO', 'HKO']
B = ['12M', 'M4M', 'MKO']
I want to merge them such that the result is:
C = ['HKM', 'MKM', 'MKO']
That is, if there is an 'M'
in list B
, I want to keep it, else I want to replace it with the value in that index of A.
What is the best way to do this? The problem I keep encountering is B's 'M4M'
such that I'm unable to replace both the 'H'
and the 'O'
. For example I'll get:
['HKM', 'MKO', 'HKM']
Thanks. (The code I have so far is below!)
replace_list = [(0, 2), (1, 0), (1, 2), (2, 0)]
list = []
for i in range(len(mix_list)):
for j in range(len(letters)):
if j != replace_list[i][1]:
list.append(letters[i][j])
else:
list.append('M')
list_join = ("".join(list))
print list
print "join", list_join
where I get: join HKMMKOHKM
You can use the function map()
with the helper function func()
:
A = ['HKO', 'HKO', 'HKO']
B = ['12M', 'M4M', 'MKO']
def func(a, b):
if 'M' in b:
m = map(lambda x, y:
y if y == 'M' else x, a, b)
return ''.join(m)
else:
return a
list(map(func, A, B))
# ['HKM', 'MKM', 'MKO']
Playing around with zip
s and map
s
f = lambda s: ''.join([a if b !='M' else b for a, b in s])
list(map(f, (map(lambda k: zip(*k), zip(A,B)))))
Outputs
['HKM', 'MKM', 'MKO']
You can use zip
and str.join
:
A = ['HKO', 'HKO', 'HKO']
B = ['12M', 'M4M', 'MKO']
result = [''.join(d if d == 'M' else c for c, d in zip(a, b)) for a, b in zip(A, B)]
Output:
['HKM', 'MKM', 'MKO']
