How can I do it easier ?

[Mike Ru]

I have a list. I need to change my list so that the first ten elems is becoming with a capital letter. I'm doing it this way:

numbers = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six', 'seven', 'eight', 'nine', 'ten', 'eleven', 'twelve', 'thriteen', 'fourteen', 'fivteen']
first_ten = numbers[:10]

capitalize_first_ten =
for x in first_ten:
    capitalize_first_ten.append(x.capitalize())

tmp = list_[10:]
print(list_)
print(capitalize_first_ten + tmp)

I'm sure there are a better way than mine. How would you make it ?

[ichabod801]

capitalized = [word.capitalize() for word in numbers]

I reduced the code.

numbers = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six', 'seven', 'eight', 'nine', 'ten', 'eleven', 'twelve', 'thriteen', 'fourteen', 'fivteen']
tmp = [x.capitalize() for x numbers[:10]]
numbers = tmp + numbers[:10]
print(numbers)

[snippsat]

numbers = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six', 'seven', 'eight', 'nine', 'ten', 'eleven', 'twelve', 'thriteen', 'fourteen', 'fivteen']
>>> print([x.capitalize() for x in numbers[:10] * 2])
['One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four', 'Five', 'Six', 'Seven', 'Eight', 'Nine', 'Ten', 'One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four', 'Five', 'Six', 'Seven', 'Eight', 'Nine', 'Ten']

Or it's okay that way if want 1 capitalize with and 1 with lower case.

Example with islice and chain from itertools:

from itertools import islice
from itertools import chain

new_list = list(chain((x.capitalize() for x in islice(numbers, 0, 10)), islice(numbers, 10)))

[wavic]

capitalized = [word.capitalize() if numbers.index(word) < 10 else word for word in numbers]

[buran]

capitalized = [word.capitalize() if numbers.index(word) < 10 else word for word in numbers]

I think it's better like this

capitalized = [word.capitalize() if i < 10 else word for i, word in enumerate(numbers)]

[wavic]

capitalized = [word.capitalize() if numbers.index(word) < 10 else word for word in numbers]

I think it's better like this

capitalized = [word.capitalize() if i < 10 else word for i, word in enumerate(numbers)]

 

I was lazy
