Python: Bigrams of words in a given list of strings

Python List: Exercise - 184 with Solution

Write a Python program to generate Bigrams of words from a given list of strings.

From Wikipedia:
A bigram or digram is a sequence of two adjacent elements from a string of tokens, which are typically letters, syllables, or words. A bigram is an n-gram for n=2. The frequency distribution of every bigram in a string is commonly used for simple statistical analysis of text in many applications, including in computational linguistics, cryptography, speech recognition, and so on.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def bigram_sequence(text_lst):
    result = [a for ls in text_lst for a in zip(ls.split(" ")[:-1], ls.split(" ")[1:])]
    return result
text = ["Sum all the items in a list", "Find the second smallest number in a list"]
print("Original list:")
print(text)
print("\nBigram sequence of the said list:")
print(bigram_sequence(text))

Sample Output:

Original list:
['Sum all the items in a list', 'Find the second smallest number in a list']

Bigram sequence of the said list:
[('Sum', 'all'), ('all', 'the'), ('the', 'items'), ('items', 'in'), ('in', 'a'), ('a', 'list'), ('Find', 'the'), ('the', 'second'), ('second', 'smallest'), ('smallest', 'number'), ('number', 'in'), ('in', 'a'), ('a', 'list')]

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
