Python: Find the nested lists elements, which are present in another list using lambda

Python Lambda: Exercise-40 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the nested lists elements, which are present in another list using lambda.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

def intersection_nested_lists(l1, l2):
    result = [list(filter(lambda x: x in l1, sublist)) for sublist in l2]
    return result
nums1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
nums2 = [[12, 18, 23, 25, 45], [7, 11, 19, 24, 28], [1, 5, 8, 18, 15, 16]]
print("\nOriginal lists:")
print(nums1)
print(nums2)
print("\nIntersection of said nested lists:")
print(intersection_nested_lists(nums1, nums2))

Sample Output:

Original lists:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
[[12, 18, 23, 25, 45], [7, 11, 19, 24, 28], [1, 5, 8, 18, 15, 16]]

Intersection of said nested lists:
[[12], [7, 11], [1, 5, 8]]

Python: Tips of the Day

The Zip() Function:

>>> students = ('John', 'Mary', 'Mike')
>>> ages = (15, 17, 16)
>>> scores = (90, 88, 82, 17, 14)
>>> for student, age, score in zip(students, ages, scores):
...     print(f'{student}, age: {age}, score: {score}')
... 
John, age: 15, score: 90
Mary, age: 17, score: 88
Mike, age: 16, score: 82
>>> zipped = zip(students, ages, scores)
>>> a, b, c = zip(*zipped)
>>> print(b)
(15, 17, 16)
