Python | Append Odd element twice

Given a list of number, the task is to create a new list from the initial list with the condition to append every odd element twice.

Below are some ways to achieve the above task.

Method #1: Using list comprehension

# Python code to create a new list from initial list
# with condition to append every odd element twice.

# List initialization
Input = [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11]

# Using list comprehension
Output = [elem for x in Input for elem in (x, )*(x % 2 + 1)]

# printing
print("Initial list is:'", Input)
print("New list is:", Output)

Output:

Initial list is:' [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11]
New list is: [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 8, 9, 9, 11, 11]

Method #2: Using itertools

# Python code to create a new list from initial list
# with condition to append every odd element twice.

# Importing
from itertools import chain

# List initialization
Input = [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11]

# Using list comprehension  and chain
Output = list(chain.from_iterable([i]
              if i % 2 == 0 else [i]*2 for i in Input))

# printing
print("Initial list is:'", Input)
print("New list is:", Output)

Output:

Initial list is:' [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11]
New list is: [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 8, 9, 9, 11, 11]

Method #3: Using Numpy array

# Python code to create a new list from initial list
# with condition to append every odd element twice.

# Importing
import numpy as np

# List initialization
Input = [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11]
Output = []

# Using Numpy repeat
for x in Input:
    (Output.extend(np.repeat(x, 2, axis = 0))
      if x % 2 == 1 else Output.append(x))

# printing
print("Initial list is:'", Input)
print("New list is:", Output)

Output:

Initial list is:' [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11]
New list is: [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 8, 9, 9, 11, 11]
