Python: Remove specific words from a given list using lambda

Python Lambda: Exercise-50 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove specific words from a given list using lambda.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

# Define a function 'remove_words' that removes specified words from a list
def remove_words(list1, remove_words):
    # Use 'filter' with a lambda function to filter out words from 'list1' that are not in 'remove_words'
    # Create 'result' containing words from 'list1' that are not in 'remove_words'
    result = list(filter(lambda word: word not in remove_words, list1))
    
    # Return the filtered list
    return result
        
# Create a list 'colors' containing words representing colors
colors = ['orange', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'white', 'black']
# Create a list 'remove_colors' containing words to be removed from the 'colors' list
remove_colors = ['orange', 'black']

# Print the original list 'colors'
print("Original list:")
print(colors)

# Print the list of words to be removed 'remove_colors'
print("\nRemove words:")
print(remove_colors)

# Remove the specified words from the 'colors' list using the 'remove_words' function and print the result
print("\nAfter removing the specified words from the said list:")
print(remove_words(colors, remove_colors)) 

Sample Output:

Original list:
['orange', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'white', 'black']

Remove words:
['orange', 'black']

After removing the specified words from the said list:
['red', 'green', 'blue', 'white']
