Python: Add two given lists of different lengths, start from left
Python List: Exercise - 155 with Solution
Write a Python program to add two given lists of different lengths, starting on the left.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def elementswise_left_join(l1, l2):
f_len = len(l1)-(len(l2) - 1)
for i in range(0, len(l2), 1):
if f_len - i >= len(l1):
break
else:
l1[i] = l1[i] + l2[i]
return l1
nums1 = [2, 4, 7, 0, 5, 8]
nums2 = [3, 3, -1, 7]
print("\nOriginal lists:")
print(nums1)
print(nums2)
print("\nAdd said two lists from left:")
print(elementswise_left_join(nums1,nums2))
nums3 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
nums4 = [2, 4, -3]
print("\nOriginal lists:")
print(nums3)
print(nums4)
print("\nAdd said two lists from left:")
print(elementswise_left_join(nums3,nums4))
Sample Output:
Original lists: [2, 4, 7, 0, 5, 8] [3, 3, -1, 7] Add said two lists from left: [5, 7, 6, 7, 5, 8] Original lists: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] [2, 4, -3] Add said two lists from left: [3, 6, 0, 4, 5, 6]

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))
