Python – Sort Tuples by Total digits
Given a Tuple List, perform sort on basis of total digits in tuple.
Examples:
Input : test_list = [(3, 4, 6, 723), (1, 2), (134, 234, 34)]
Output : [(1, 2), (3, 4, 6, 723), (134, 234, 34)]
Explanation : 2 < 6 < 8, sorted by increasing total digits.
Input : test_list = [(1, 2), (134, 234, 34)]
Output : [(1, 2), (134, 234, 34)]
Explanation : 2 < 8, sorted by increasing total digits.
Method #1: Using sort() + len() + sum()
In this, we get all sum of all lengths of each element in the tuple by string conversion and len(). Then sort() is used with key to solve this problem.
Python3
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Sort Tuples by Total digits# Using sort() + len() + sum() def count_digs(tup): # gets total digits in tuples return sum([len(str(ele)) for ele in tup ]) # initializing listtest_list = [(3, 4, 6, 723), (1, 2), (12345,), (134, 234, 34)] # printing original listprint("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # performing sort test_list.sort(key = count_digs) # printing result print("Sorted tuples : " + str(test_list)) |
The original list is : [(3, 4, 6, 723), (1, 2), (12345,), (134, 234, 34)] Sorted tuples : [(1, 2), (12345,), (3, 4, 6, 723), (134, 234, 34)]
Method #2 : Using sorted() + lambda + sum() + len()
In this, we perform task of sorting using sorted(), and the lambda function performs the task of computation of total digits in tuples.
Python3
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Sort Tuples by Total digits# Using sorted() + lambda + sum() + len() # initializing listtest_list = [(3, 4, 6, 723), (1, 2), (12345,), (134, 234, 34)] # printing original listprint("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # performing sort, lambda function provides logicres = sorted(test_list, key = lambda tup : sum([len(str(ele)) for ele in tup ])) # printing result print("Sorted tuples : " + str(res)) |
The original list is : [(3, 4, 6, 723), (1, 2), (12345,), (134, 234, 34)] Sorted tuples : [(1, 2), (12345,), (3, 4, 6, 723), (134, 234, 34)]
