I'm trying an exercise that wants me to return a new list that contains all the same elements except the negative numbers which are turned into zeros in the returned list.
I have used a for loop to loop through the parameter list and if the number is below 0, I would append it to a new list but times it by 0. However, I get weird outputs such as empty lists. For example, the code below should print:
[0, 0, 9, 0, 0, 34, 1]
[9, 34, 1]
[0, 0, 0]
Please stick to using list methods thanks.
The code:
def get_new_list_no_negs(num_list):
new_list = []
for i in range(len(num_list)):
if i < 0:
new_list.append(num_list[i] * 0)
return new_list
def main():
print("1.", get_new_list_no_negs([-3, -6, 9, 0, 0, 34, 1]))
print("2.", get_new_list_no_negs([9, 34, 1]))
print("3.", get_new_list_no_negs([-9, -34, -1]))
main()
This should do:
def get_new_list_no_negs(num_list):
return [max(num, 0) for num in num_list]
the max
function is a python builtin that will return the largest between the passed numbers.
Try this
l = [-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]
# this
l = [i for i in l if i > 0 else 0]
# or
l = [max(i, 0) for i in l]
The enumerate() function adds a counter to an iterable.
So for each element in a cursor, a tuple is produced with (counter, element); the for loop binds that to row_number and row, respectively.
l = [-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]
for index, value in enumerate(l):
if value < 0:
l[index] = 0
print(l)
O/P:
[0, 0, 0, 1, 2]
