Given a list containing only string elements, the task is to write a Python program to extract all the strings which have characters from another list given a number of times.
Examples:
Input : test_list = [“Geeksforgeeks”, “is”, “best”, “for”, “geeks”], char_list = [‘e’, ‘t’, ‘s’, ‘m’, ‘n’], K = 2
Output : [‘Geeksforgeeks’, ‘best’, ‘geeks’]
Explanation : is has 1, for has 0 characters from list, hence omitted.
Input : test_list = [“Geeksforgeeks”, “is”, “best”, “for”, “geeks”], char_list = [‘t’, ‘s’, ‘m’, ‘n’], K = 2
Output : [‘Geeksforgeeks’, ‘best’]
Explanation : Geeksforgeeks has 2 s, and best has 2 elements from character list.
Method 1 : Using list comprehension and sum()
In this, we perform iteration of characters using list comprehension and sum() is used to check for matching characters sum, which, if found greater than K, is added to result list.
Program:
Python3
# initializing list test_list = ["Geeksforgeeks", "is", "best", "for", "geeks"] # printing original list print("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # initializing characters list char_list = ['e', 't', 's', 'm', 'n'] # initializing K K = 2 # sum() computes matching elements frequency res = [ele for ele in test_list if sum(ch in char_list for ch in ele) >= K] # printing result print("Filtered Strings : " + str(res)) |
Output:
The original list is : [‘Geeksforgeeks’, ‘is’, ‘best’, ‘for’, ‘geeks’]
Filtered Strings : [‘Geeksforgeeks’, ‘best’, ‘geeks’]
Method 2 : Using filter(), lambda and sum()
In this, task of filtering is performed using filter(), rest all the functionalities is performed using similar constructs as above method.
Program:
Python3
# initializing list test_list = ["Geeksforgeeks", "is", "best", "for", "geeks"] # printing original list print("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # initializing characters list char_list = ['e', 't', 's', 'm', 'n'] # initializing K K = 2 # sum() computes matching elements frequency # filter() used for task of filtering res = list(filter(lambda ele: sum(ch in char_list for ch in ele) >= K, test_list)) # printing result print("Filtered Strings : " + str(res)) |
Output:
The original list is : [‘Geeksforgeeks’, ‘is’, ‘best’, ‘for’, ‘geeks’]
Filtered Strings : [‘Geeksforgeeks’, ‘best’, ‘geeks’]
