Python: Create a new list dividing two given lists of numbers

Python List: Exercise - 176 with Solution

Write a Python program to create a new list by dividing two given lists of numbers.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def dividing_two_lists(l1,l2):
    result = [x/y for x, y in zip(l1,l2)]
    return result 
nums1 = [7,2,3,4,9,2,3]
nums2 = [9,8,2,3,3,1,2]
print("Original list:")
print(nums1)
print(nums1)
print(dividing_two_lists(nums1, nums2))

Sample Output: 

Original list:
[7, 2, 3, 4, 9, 2, 3]
[7, 2, 3, 4, 9, 2, 3]
[0.7777777777777778, 0.25, 1.5, 1.3333333333333333, 3.0, 2.0, 1.5]

Python: Tips of the Day

Returns True if the provided function returns True for every element in the list, False otherwise:

Example:

def tips_every(lst, fn=lambda x: x):
  return all(map(fn, lst))

print(tips_every([2, 4, 3], lambda x: x > 1))
print(tips_every([1, 2, 3]))

Output:

True
True
