List Less Than Ten Solutions
Exercise 3
Take a list, say for example this one:
a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]
and write a program that prints out all the elements of the list that are less than 5.
Extras:
1. Instead of printing the elements one by one, make a new list that has all the elements less than 5
from this list in it and print out this new list.
2. Write this in one line of Python.
3. Ask the user for a number and return a list that contains only elements from the original list a that
are smaller than that number given by the user.
Sample solution
I will note that none of the solutions that were submitted were written in one line of Python. There
will be more exercises later that show you how to do this!
Here is a sample solution that solves the exercise, including extras 1 and 3.
Share the fun!

Can you please explain? New in Python

@Jash
A list comprehension behaves like this:

[ ] f [i ] i [li ] if [fil ]
[output] for [item] in [list] if [filter]
As you can see there are 4 components in its

syntax:
output, item, list and filter.
In the case of Sachin's code [aa for aa in a if

aa < 5]:
output = aa
item = aa
list = a
filter = aa < 5
What this means is that I'm outputting the

variable 'aa' which refers to each item in the
li ( )

how about the same when we have
string in the list?

R3X > Siddharth Mulampalli

Here is one example! :)
fruits = ["banana", "orange",

"pinapple", "banana"]
print([object for object in fruits if

object == "banana"])
This would return "banana" 2 times,

since there is a total of two objects
called "banana" in the list "fruits".

I never thought that code will be so
simple.
S N > Jash • a year ago

So, I'm new to python too. I solved the same
thing with a for loop and an if statement
within it, and I realize that this is the same
as that but all in one line in the same order.
Also, the output is given as a list.
-------------------------------------------
I wrote:
a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]
for numbers in a:
if numbers <5:
print(numbers)
So, copy paste the lines above in this order to

get what Sachin has with minor
modification: "line 4" + "line 2" + "line 3"
print([numbers for numbers in a if numbers

<5])

Don > Sachin Patole • 3 years ago

yeah i'm curious too, very cool though.
Sachin Patole > Don • 3 years ago

That's list compreshension...
Kriss > Sachin Patole • 2 years ago • edited

this makes SO much more sense that the "oh-look-i-
am-so witty" solution they gave above
Clay Kami > Sachin Patole • 2 years ago

I wrote it:
a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]
for nums in a:
if nums < 5:
print([nums])
but the way you condensed it...that's insane

Masoom Ali > Clay Kami • 2 years ago

does it works?
Non-Descript Virt > Masoom Ali

• 2 years ago
I think just by looking but
poster/professor-role says he's
looking for one liner which the above
did in list comprehension which is
python-unique I think, but is saying
the same thing in one line.
Paulo Moore > Sachin Patole • 2 years ago • edited

I got an error with that code but I fixed it by
changing all the "aa" to "a":
print([a for a in a if a < 5])
Maybe python changed that in the new versions, or

maybe it is because I use windows haha
Rahul Roy • 3 years ago

print("Welcome to the List Less Than Ten program..")
print("\nEnter number as a list\n")
a=[int(i) for i in input().split()]
b=[int(j) for j in a if j<5]
print(b)
PoPcornfillinG > Rahul Roy • 3 years ago

rahul whats does \n \n mean. The one you put
in your line two

Evan Krueger > PoPcornfillinG

• 3 years ago
\n creates a new line in the output
example: in: print('Hello\nWorld')
out: Hello
World

Try to follow the Indentation. In python
Indentation must be follow. Because there
no Curly Braces. So that we should follow
Indentation. Better You Keep following the
indentation in all programming language it
is a good Practicing manner.

archana > Subrat Kumar • 2 years ago

what is the meaning of this print( f ) i am not
understanding why be are used f.
copavi_gubavac > archana • 2 years ago

it is print formatting, a slightly faster way to
print vars without concatenation.
on the other hand it just makes vars in print

statements look exactly like rest of strings so
it is a little less readable if you are going fast
through code looking for vars...
PoPcornfillinG • 3 years ago

a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]
num = int(input("Choose a number: "))
new_list = []
for i in a:
if i < num:
new_list.append(i)
print (new_list)
Sandy • 3 years ago

Petar Matev > Sandy • 2 years ago

number3 = int(input("Give me a number: "))
number_list5 = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]
print([x for x in number_list5 if x < number3])

Jonathan > Sandy • a year ago

a = [2,55,47,2,8,4,65,9,123,53,75]
print([i for i in a if i < 5])
This is my own code and it works by adding the

brackets inside the parenthesis.
Thrive • 3 years ago

erm.. guys, if you are following the ans and is new like me,
and using py 3.6
you need change raw_input to input
and add the print( ) to new_list ..
so its:
--------------------
num = int(input("Choose a number: ")) <<<<<<< changed

here
print(new_list) <<< changed here
-------------
or hey, code it yourself and experiment, that is what i am

doing. this is fun !
James Corden • 3 years ago

a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]
num = int(input())
b = list(filter(lambda x: x < num, a))
print(b)
Ifecojustin • 3 years ago

while True:
try:
number_list =[int(number) for number in input("Put in

the list of number: ").split()]
limiter= int(input("please Input the Number for limiting:

"))
break
except ValueError:
print("This program only runs on list of Integers only: ")
for limit in number_list:
if limit < limiter:
limit_list.append(limit)
else:
continue
if len(limit_list) ==0:
print("There is no number less than {} in the list

provided".format(limiter))
elif len(limit_list) ==1:
print("The number less than {} in the list provided is

:".format(limiter), end=" ")
for new in limit_list:
print(new, end=' ')
else:
print("The numbers less than {} in the list provided are:

".format(limiter), end=" ")
for new in limit_list:
print(new, end=', ')

Allen Varughese • 3 years ago

list = [10,2,3,4,5,7,1,2,12,4,3,45,6,4,2]
newlist=[]
for i in list:
if i<5:
print(i)
newlist.append(i)
print(newlist)
Jernej Šorn > Allen Varughese • 3 years ago
the problem I have with running a code this way is
that a loop is taking out numbers >5 one by one so I
actually get 4 new lists:
[1]
[1, 1]
[1, 1, 2]
[1, 1, 2, 3]
How do you deal with that?

Heba Eltoukhy > Jernej Šorn • 3 years ago

I have the same problem. have you figured
out how to fix that?
Lou D. Martin > Heba Eltoukhy

• 3 years ago
remove the line where it says print(i)
This line is printed in each loop if not
