Problem
The aim of this program is to say which position a word is in a list. This is just a basic version of it. I made to see if I could shorten it more than what it is currently.
position, word, word_list = 0, 'hello', 'hello what is your name i am bob this is a sentence a very n ice sentence'
word_list = word_list.split(" ")
print(word_list)
if word in word_list:
for name in word_list:
position = position + 1
if word == name:
print('your word is in the list at ',position)
else:
print('Your word is not in the sentence')Solution
A similar solution using
You could also use a list comprehension:
Also, a generator expression that's a little more efficient:
enumerate():word, word_list = 'hello', 'hello what is your name i am bob this is a sentence a very n ice sentence'
if word in word_list:
for position, name in enumerate(word_list):
if name == word:
print("Your word is in the list at ", position)
else:
print('Your word is not in the sentence')You could also use a list comprehension:
word, word_list = 'hello', 'hello what is your name i am bob this is a sentence a very n ice sentence'
positions = [x for x, n in enumerate(word_list).split() if n == word]
if positions:
for position in positions:
print('your word is in the list at ', position)
else:
print('Your word is not in the sentence')Also, a generator expression that's a little more efficient:
word, word_list = 'hello', 'hello what is your name i am bob this is a sentence a very n ice sentence'
found = False
for position in (x for x, n in enumerate(word_list) if n == word):
print('your word is in the list at ', position)
found = True
if not found:
print('Your word is not in the sentence')Code Snippets
