Python: Find intersection of two given arrays using Lambda

Python Lambda: Exercise-11 with Solution

Write a Python program to find intersection of two given arrays using Lambda.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

array_nums1 = [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10]
array_nums2 = [1, 2, 4, 8, 9]
print("Original arrays:")
print(array_nums1)
print(array_nums2)
result = list(filter(lambda x: x in array_nums1, array_nums2)) 
print ("\nIntersection of the said arrays: ",result)

Sample Output:

Original arrays:
[1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10]
[1, 2, 4, 8, 9]

Intersection of the said arrays:  [1, 2, 8, 9]

Python: Tips of the Day

Finds the median of a list of numbers

Example:

def tips_median(list):
  list.sort()
  list_length = len(list)
  if list_length % 2 == 0:
    return (list[int(list_length / 2) - 1] + list[int(list_length / 2)]) / 2
  return list[int(list_length / 2)]

print(tips_median([1,2,3,4])) 
print(tips_median([1,2,3,4,5]))

Output:

2.5
