Adding List Element if Second part of the List Elements are the Same - quest_ - Nov-25-2020 Hello, I have this list newlist = [[[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]],(1.57, 1.57, 0)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 1.57, 0)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 1.57, 1.57)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 0, 0)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 1.57, 0)]]]] Here I want to compare second part of the list (this part: (1.57, 1.57, 0), (1.57, 1.57, 0), (1.57, 1.57, 1.57).. ) and if the second parts of the list are same? I want to add them together. For instance the list which I wrote above we have 2 times (0, 1.57, 0) so the new list should be like that: newlist2 = [[[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]],(1.57, 1.57, 0)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1],[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]]], (0, 1.57, 0), (0, 1.57, 0)# here instead of adding(0, 1.57, 0) again we can just put 2 for remembering we had 2 times (0, 1.57, 0)] [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 1.57, 1.57)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 0, 0)]]] How can I do that in an efficient way Thanks for helps.. RE: Adding List Element if Second part of the List Elements are the Same - bowlofred - Nov-25-2020 Trying to do this entirely within a list seems possible, but annoying to me. You're treating the bit on the end like a dictionary key. So I'd recommend creating a real dictionary instead. Then if you need the lists later, reassemble them from the dictionary. Actually storing the data in a dictionary seems much better than forcing everything into a four-deep nested list structure. from collections import defaultdict import pprint newlist = [[[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]],(1.57, 1.57, 0)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 1.57, 0)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 1.57, 1.57)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 0, 0)], [[[0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1], [1, 1, 1]], (0, 1.57, 0)]] info = defaultdict(list) #dict from the list for row in newlist: sublist, key = row info[key].append(sublist) # reassmble the list newlist = [] for key, value in info.items(): sublist = value sublist.append(key) newlist.append(value) pprint.pprint(newlist)
RE: Adding List Element if Second part of the List Elements are the Same - quest_ - Nov-25-2020 It worked thanks and is it possible to save in the list how many times we found second part. For intance:
RE: Adding List Element if Second part of the List Elements are the Same - bowlofred - Nov-25-2020 The way it is now, the "key" is at the end of all the added lists. So you could just count the size of the list and subtract 1. |
