Python: Move a specified element in a given list
Python List: Exercise - 196 with Solution
Write a Python program to move a specified element in a given list.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def group_similar_items(seq,el):
seq.append(seq.pop(seq.index(el)))
return seq
colors = ['red','green','white','black','orange']
print("Original list:")
print(colors)
el = "white"
print("Move",el,"at the end of the said list:")
print(group_similar_items(colors, el))
colors = ['red','green','white','black','orange']
print("\nOriginal list:")
print(colors)
el = "red"
print("Move",el,"at the end of the said list:")
print(group_similar_items(colors, el))
colors = ['red','green','white','black','orange']
print("\nOriginal list:")
print(colors)
el = "black"
print("Move",el,"at the end of the said list:")
print(group_similar_items(colors, el))
Sample Output:
Original list: ['red', 'green', 'white', 'black', 'orange'] Move white at the end of the said list: ['red', 'green', 'black', 'orange', 'white'] Original list: ['red', 'green', 'white', 'black', 'orange'] Move red at the end of the said list: ['green', 'white', 'black', 'orange', 'red'] Original list: ['red', 'green', 'white', 'black', 'orange'] Move black at the end of the said list: ['red', 'green', 'white', 'orange', 'black']

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))
