Python: Remove the specific item from a given list of lists

Python List: Exercise - 140 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove a specific item from a given list of lists.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import copy	
def remove_list_of_lists(color, N):
    for x in color:
        del x[N]
    return color

nums = [
        ["Red","Maroon","Yellow","Olive"],
        ["#FF0000", "#800000", "#FFFF00", "#808000"],
        ["rgb(255,0,0)","rgb(128,0,0)","rgb(255,255,0)","rgb(128,128,0)"]
       ]
nums1 =  copy.deepcopy(nums)
nums2 =  copy.deepcopy(nums)
nums3 =  copy.deepcopy(nums)

print("Original list of lists:")
print(nums)
N = 0
print("\nRemove 1st item from the said list of lists:")
print(remove_list_of_lists(nums1, N))
N = 1
print("\nRemove 2nd item from the said list of lists:")
print(remove_list_of_lists(nums2, N))
N = 3
print("\nRemove 4th item from the said list of lists:")
print(remove_list_of_lists(nums3, N))

Sample Output: 

Original list of lists:
[['Red', 'Maroon', 'Yellow', 'Olive'], ['#FF0000', '#800000', '#FFFF00', '#808000'], ['rgb(255,0,0)', 'rgb(128,0,0)', 'rgb(255,255,0)', 'rgb(128,128,0)']]

Remove 1st item from the said list of lists:
[['Maroon', 'Yellow', 'Olive'], ['#800000', '#FFFF00', '#808000'], ['rgb(128,0,0)', 'rgb(255,255,0)', 'rgb(128,128,0)']]

Remove 2nd item from the said list of lists:
[['Red', 'Yellow', 'Olive'], ['#FF0000', '#FFFF00', '#808000'], ['rgb(255,0,0)', 'rgb(255,255,0)', 'rgb(128,128,0)']]

Remove 4th item from the said list of lists:
[['Red', 'Maroon', 'Yellow'], ['#FF0000', '#800000', '#FFFF00'], ['rgb(255,0,0)', 'rgb(128,0,0)', 'rgb(255,255,0)']]

Python: Tips of the Day

Given a predicate function, fn, and a prop string, this curried function will then take an object to inspect by calling the property and passing it to the predicate:

Example:

def tips_check_prop(fn, prop):
  return lambda obj: fn(obj[prop])
check_age = tips_check_prop(lambda x: x >= 25, 'age')
user = {'name': 'Owen', 'age': 25}

print(check_age(user))

Output:

True
