Given two lists x, y such that they both have been initialized as shown below:
x = [(0, 3), (5, 8), (16, 19), (21, 24), (28, 30), (40, 42), (46, 47), (50, 54), (58, 63), (69, 71)]
y = [(9, 10), (26, 27), (29, 31), (35, 36), (41, 43), (48, 49), (66, 67), (70, 72), (77, 78), (85, 86)]
I want to form a new list of tuples where each tuple has contiguous tuples from x and an overlapping tuple from y.
For the example above, the output would be:
[((5, 8) (9, 10) (16, 19)), ((21, 24) (26, 27) (28, 30)), ((28, 30) (29, 31) (40, 42)), ((28, 30) (35, 36) (40, 42)), ((40, 42) (41, 43) (46, 47)), ((46, 47) (48, 49) (50, 54)),((58, 63) (66, 67) (69, 71))]
My code:
lst = []
for i in range(len(x)):
if i+1 < len(x):
context = x[i],x[i+1]
for j in y:
if j[0] >= context[0][0] and j[0] <= context[1][0]:
lst.append((context[0],j,context[1]))
I need better and efficient ways to write this code.
You can use two variables to keep track of indices in x and y list. Using the conditions specified in the problem, these indices can be incremented whenever the given condition has been satisfied. At every iteration, the algorithm checks if x[i][0] < y[j][0]
and x[i+1][1] > y[j][1]
( The upper and lower bound provided by the contigous tuples in x
. If this condition is true, we increment j
(y-index) so that we can check if the next element lies in the given range. Else, we increment i
(x-index) and repeat the process.
x = [(0, 3), (5, 8), (16, 19), (21, 24), (28, 30), (40, 42), (46, 47), (50, 54), (58, 63), (69, 71)]
y = [(9, 10), (26, 27), (29, 31), (35, 36), (41, 43), (48, 49), (66, 67), (70, 72), (77, 78), (85, 86)]
i = 0
j = 0
result = list()
while i < len(x) - 1 and j < len(y):
if y[j][0] > x[i][0] and y[j][1] < x[i + 1][1]:
result.append((x[i], y[j], x[i + 1]))
j += 1
else:
i += 1
print(result)
Output -
[((5, 8), (9, 10), (16, 19)),
((21, 24), (26, 27), (28, 30)),
((28, 30), (29, 31), (40, 42)),
((28, 30), (35, 36), (40, 42)),
((40, 42), (41, 43), (46, 47)),
((46, 47), (48, 49), (50, 54)),
((58, 63), (66, 67), (69, 71))]
You can use Python Sorting
from operator import itemgetter, attrgetter
output = sorted((x + y), key=itemgetter(0))
