How to unpack this list comprehension

Question

I got some lists of all integer. If use this example filter = [x for x in res if all(item in x for item in v_h) ] it got the result as 3441.

If I unpack it like this:

f = []

for x in res:
    for item in v_h:
        if item in x:
            if all(x):
                f.append(x)

I get 39490, how do I unpack it correctly?

full code:

import time

start_time = time.time()

def make_comb(goal, nums):
    lists = [[num] for num in nums]
    new_lists = []
    collected = []
    while lists:
        for list in lists:
            s = sum(list)
            for num in nums:
                if num >= list[-1]:
                    if s + num < goal:
                        new_lists.append(list + [num])
                    elif s + num == goal:
                        collected.append(list + [num])
        lists = new_lists
        new_lists = []
    return collected



h = 240
v_h = [3,6,9,18,24]

sizes = []
[sizes.append(x) for x in v_h if x not in sizes]

res = make_comb(h, v_h)

filter = [x for x in res if all(item in x for item in v_h) ]

f = []

for x in res:
    for item in v_h:
        if item in x:
            if all(x):
                f.append(x)

# print(*filter, sep="\n")
print("--- %s valid combinations ---" % len(f))
print("--- %s valid combinations ---" % len(filter))
print("--- %s total combinations ---" % len(res))
print("--- %s seconds ---" % (time.time() - start_time))

Answer 1

filter = [x for x in res if all(item in x for item in v_h) ]

Is this:

ret = []
for x in res:
    append = True
    for item in v_h:
        if item not in x:
            append = False
            break
    if append:
        ret.append(x)
      

Then you can check if it's not in x and set a flag whether or not to append x

Answer 2

You have an unnecessary call to all in your unpacking. You can simulate x with a for loop with an else clause.

filter = []
for x in res:
    for item in v_h:
        if item not in x:
            break
    else:
        filter.append(x)

x will be added to filter if the inner loop completes without ever reaching the break statement, ie, if item not in x is always false.

Keeping all ,

filter = []
for x in res:
    if all(item in x for item in v_h):
        filter.append(x)

which can be seen to mirror the structure of the original list comprehension more closely.

Answer 3

If my answer is wrong any criticism is welcome.

filter = []
for x in res:
    execute = True
    for item in v_h:
        if(item not in x):
            execute = False
            break;
    if(execute):
        filter.append(x)
