Python | Associating a single value with all list items

Sometimes we come across a utility in which we have a list and we wish to associate with it any one of the given value. This can occur in many phases of programming and knowing the shorthands to it can be useful. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this can be done.

Method #1 : Using map() + lambda
This task can be done using map function which is inbuilt python function that is generally used to associate or aggregate values. Lambda function can feed a particular value to the map function for its execution.

# Python3 code to demonstrate
# associate value in list 
# using map() + lambda
  
# initializing list
test_list = [1, 4, 5, 8, 3, 10]
  
# initializing value to associate
val = 'geeks'
  
# printing the original list
print ("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
  
# printing value 
print ("The value to be attached to each value : " +  str(val))
  
# using map() + lambda
# associate value in list 
res = list(map(lambda i: (i, val), test_list))
  
# printing result
print ("The modified attached list is : " + str(res))

Output : 



The original list is : [1, 4, 5, 8, 3, 10]

The value to be attached to each value : geeks

The modified attached list is : [(1, ‘geeks’), (4, ‘geeks’), (5, ‘geeks’), (8, ‘geeks’), (3, ‘geeks’), (10, ‘geeks’)]





 




Method #2 : Using zip() + itertools.repeat()

The zip function can be used to attach the required value with the elements in a sequence and repeat function can be used to extend the task to all the list elements in more efficient manner.
