    I found the way you formatted the comprehension that calculates squares is a really helpful way to think about comprehensions, even if I compress them to a single line. In that form, it looks like the comprehension just skips the result=[ ] statement, which I always thought was ugly. And in nested loops it gets rid of all those intermediate lists and variables. For the first time they look more elegant to me.

    Most comprehensions can be replaced by some combination of map and filter, which I find far cleaner. Further, in most cases, you will iterate through the iterator only once, in which case, you can leave it as an iterator (map and filter) form until you use it (unlike, for example, using comprehension to give you an iterable). This is far more pythonic and memory efficient too.

  • @elatedbento

    @elatedbento

    Ай бұрын

    Things are a bit gray here. You can easily replace the list comprehension to a generator comprehension by just changing to parenthesis, in case you need that memory efficiency. Most developers nowadays advocate for list/gen comprehensions over map and filter statements, for readability and performance. There is nothing wrong with map and filter, though.

    Another interesting point about generator expressions, is how they work with the all and any functions. Those functions will use the same kind of short-circuit evaluation that compound conditionals use -- that is, they will only evaluate as many items from the generator that they need in order to determine whether the result should be True or False.

    For number 1, it’s much easier just to write list(range(10)) or [*range(10]. Of course, this doesn’t allow for manipulation of the numbers in the range, but it’s still something to be aware of. Same type of thing goes for the conditional comprehension and the filter function.

  • @BiologyIsHot
    @BiologyIsHot29 күн бұрын

    The syntax for flattening a list always feels very wrong. Given that single list comprehensions put their iterable to the left, it always feels odd that for num in row is to the right of matrix. It REALLY feels like it should have been [num for num in row for row in matrix] instead of what it actually is. I actually think this is one of the worst bits of Python and I encourage people to not do these neste/unpacking list comphrensions because of how unreadable they are. It would have been great if they gave us some kind of unpacking operator syntactic sugar here with [*row for row in matrix]. That would have been a much better syntax than [item for sublist in nested_list for item in sublist]
