Python | Creating a 3D List
A 3-D List means that we need to make a list that has three parameters to it, i.e., (a x b x c), just like a 3 D array in other languages. In this program we will try to form a 3-D List with its content as “#”. Lets look at these following examples:
Input : 3 x 3 x 3 Output : [[['#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#']], [['#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#']], [['#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#']]] Input : 5 x 3 x 2 Output : [[['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#']], [['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#']]]
# Python program to print 3D list# importing pretty printedimport pprint def ThreeD(a, b, c): lst = [[ ['#' for col in range(a)] for col in range(b)] for row in range(c)] return lst # Driver Codecol1 = 5col2 = 3row = 2# used the pretty printed functionpprint.pprint(ThreeD(col1, col2, row)) |
Output:
[[['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#']], [['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#'], ['#', '#', '#', '#', '#']]]
Refer pprint() to get more insight into this topic.
Now let’s suppose we need to merge two 3D lists into one.
# Python program to merge two 3D list into one# importing pretty printedimport pprint def ThreeD(a, b, c): lst1 = [[ ['1' for col in range(a)] for col in range(b)] for row in range(c)] lst2= [[ ['2' for col in range(a)] for col in range(b)] for row in range(c)] # Merging using "+" operator lst = lst1+lst2 return lst # Driver Codecol1 = 3col2 = 3row = 3 # used the pretty printed functionpprint.pprint(ThreeD(col1, col2, row)) |
Output:
[[['1', '1', '1'], ['1', '1', '1'], ['1', '1', '1']], [['1', '1', '1'], ['1', '1', '1'], ['1', '1', '1']], [['1', '1', '1'], ['1', '1', '1'], ['1', '1', '1']], [['2', '2', '2'], ['2', '2', '2'], ['2', '2', '2']], [['2', '2', '2'], ['2', '2', '2'], ['2', '2', '2']], [['2', '2', '2'], ['2', '2', '2'], ['2', '2', '2']]]
