Python – Extract rows with Even length strings

In this article we have a given Matrix, extract rows which are of even lengths.

Input : test_list = [[“gfg”, “is”, “best”], [“best”, “good”, “geek”], [“is”, “better”], [“for”, “cs”]] 
Output : [[‘best’, ‘good’, ‘geek’], [‘is’, ‘better’]] 
Explanation : All strings are of even length.
Input : test_list = [[“gfg”, “is”, “best”], [“best”, “good”, “geeks”], [“is”, “better”], [“for”, “cs”]] 
Output : [[‘is’, ‘better’]] 
Explanation : All strings are of even length. 

Method #1 : Using all() + list comprehension + len()

In this, we check for all the strings in each row, its length, and check if length is even, if all strings in row have even length, then its added to result list.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Extract rows with Even length strings
# Using all() + list comprehension + len()

# initializing list
test_list = [["gfg", "is", "best"], ["best", "good", "geek"], ["is", "better"], ["for", "cs"]]

# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))

# checking for all elements in row
res = [row for row in test_list if all(len(ele) % 2 == 0 for ele in row)]

# printing result
print("Rows with even length : " + str(res))

Output

The original list is : [[‘gfg’, ‘is’, ‘best’], [‘best’, ‘good’, ‘geek’], [‘is’, ‘better’], [‘for’, ‘cs’]]
Rows with even length : [[‘best’, ‘good’, ‘geek’], [‘is’, ‘better’]]

Method #2 : Using filter() + lambda + len()

In this, we perform task of filtering using filter() + lambda, len() as in above method, performs the task of getting length of each string.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Extract rows with Even length strings
# Using filter() + lambda + len()

# initializing list
test_list = [["gfg", "is", "best"], ["best", "good", "geek"], ["is", "better"], ["for", "cs"]]

# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))

# checking for all elements in row
# filtering done using filter() and lambda
res = list(filter(lambda row : all(len(ele) % 2 == 0 for ele in row), test_list))

# printing result
print("Rows with even length : " + str(res))

Output

The original list is : [[‘gfg’, ‘is’, ‘best’], [‘best’, ‘good’, ‘geek’], [‘is’, ‘better’], [‘for’, ‘cs’]]
Rows with even length : [[‘best’, ‘good’, ‘geek’], [‘is’, ‘better’]]
