Python | Repeat and Multiply list extension
Sometimes, while working with Python list, we can have a problem in which we need to extend a list in a very customized way. We may have to repeat contents of list and while doing that, each time new list must be a multiple of original list. This incremental expansion has applications in many domains. Let’s discuss a way in which this task can be performed.
Method : Using list comprehension
This task can be performed in a brute manner, but having a shorter implementation using list comprehension always is better. In this, we perform task in 2 steps, first we make a helper list to form a multiplication factor list and then cumulate the result using original list.
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of# Repeat and Multiply list extension# Using list comprehension # initializing listtest_list = [4, 5, 6] # printing original listprint("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # Extension factorN = 4 # Multiply factor M = 3 # Repeat and Multiply list extension# Using list comprehensiontemp = [1 * M**i for i in range(N)]res = list([ele * tele for tele in temp for ele in test_list]) # printing result print("List after extension and multiplication : " + str(res)) |
Output :
The original list is : [4, 5, 6] List after extension and multiplication : [4, 5, 6, 12, 15, 18, 36, 45, 54, 108, 135, 162]
