Python: Create group of similar items of a given list
Python Itertools: Exercise-42 with Solution
Write a Python program to create group of similar items of a given list.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import itertools as it
def group_similar_items(seq):
result = [list(el) for _, el in it.groupby(seq, lambda x: x.split('_')[0])]
return result
colors = ['red_1', 'red_2', 'green_1', 'green_2', 'green_3', 'orange_1', 'orange_2']
print("Original list:")
print(colors)
print("\nGroup similar items of the said list:")
print(group_similar_items(colors))
colors = ['red_1', 'green-1', 'green_2', 'green_3', 'orange-1', 'orange_2']
print("\nOriginal list:")
print(colors)
print("\nGroup similar items of the said list:")
print(group_similar_items(colors))
Sample Output:
Original list: ['red_1', 'red_2', 'green_1', 'green_2', 'green_3', 'orange_1', 'orange_2'] Group similar items of the said list: [['red_1', 'red_2'], ['green_1', 'green_2', 'green_3'], ['orange_1', 'orange_2']] Original list: ['red_1', 'green-1', 'green_2', 'green_3', 'orange-1', 'orange_2'] Group similar items of the said list: [['red_1'], ['green-1'], ['green_2', 'green_3'], ['orange-1'], ['orange_2']]
