The interconversion between datatypes is quite useful utility and many articles have been written to perform the same. This article discusses the interconversion between a tuple of characters to individual strings. This kind of interconversion is useful in Machine Learning in which we need to give the input to train model in a specific format. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this can be done.
Method #1 : Using list comprehension + join()
The list comprehension performs the task of iterating the entire list of tuples and join function performs the task of aggregating the elements of tuple into a one list.
# Python3 code to demonstrate# conversion of list of tuple to list of list # using list comprehension + join() # initializing list test_list = [('G', 'E', 'E', 'K', 'S'), ('F', 'O', 'R'), ('G', 'E', 'E', 'K', 'S')] # printing the original listprint ("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # using list comprehension + join()# conversion of list of tuple to list of list res = [''.join(i) for i in test_list] # printing resultprint ("The list after conversion to list of string : " + str(res)) |
Output :
The original list is : [(‘G’, ‘E’, ‘E’, ‘K’, ‘S’), (‘F’, ‘O’, ‘R’), (‘G’, ‘E’, ‘E’, ‘K’, ‘S’)]
The list after conversion to list of string : [‘GEEKS’, ‘FOR’, ‘GEEKS’]
Method #2 : Using map() + join()
The task performed by the list comprehension can be performed by the map function which can perform extension of logic of one tuple to all tuple in list.
# Python3 code to demonstrate# conversion of list of tuple to list of list # using map() + join() # initializing list test_list = [('G', 'E', 'E', 'K', 'S'), ('F', 'O', 'R'), ('G', 'E', 'E', 'K', 'S')] # printing the original listprint ("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # using map() + join()# conversion of list of tuple to list of list res = list(map(''.join, test_list)) # printing resultprint ("The list after conversion to list of string : " + str(res)) |
Output :
The original list is : [(‘G’, ‘E’, ‘E’, ‘K’, ‘S’), (‘F’, ‘O’, ‘R’), (‘G’, ‘E’, ‘E’, ‘K’, ‘S’)]
The list after conversion to list of string : [‘GEEKS’, ‘FOR’, ‘GEEKS’]
