Python: Interleave multiple lists of different lengths using itertools module
Python Itertools: Exercise-38 with Solution
Write a Python program to interleave multiple given lists of different lengths using itertools module.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
from itertools import chain, zip_longest
def interleave_diff_len_lists(list1, list2, list3, list4):
return [x for x in chain(*zip_longest(list1, list2, list3, list4)) if x is not None]
nums1 = [2, 4, 7, 0, 5, 8]
nums2 = [2, 5, 8]
nums3 = [0, 1]
nums4 = [3, 3, -1, 7]
print("\nOriginal lists:")
print(nums1)
print(nums2)
print(nums3)
print(nums4)
print("\nInterleave said lists of different lengths:")
print(interleave_diff_len_lists(nums1, nums2, nums3, nums4))
Sample Output:
Original lists: [2, 4, 7, 0, 5, 8] [2, 5, 8] [0, 1] [3, 3, -1, 7] Interleave said lists of different lengths: [2, 2, 0, 3, 4, 5, 1, 3, 7, 8, -1, 0, 7, 5, 8]
