Python: Pair up the consecutive elements of a given list

Python List: Exercise - 200 with Solution

Write a Python program to pair consecutive elements of a given list.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def pair_consecutive_elements(lst):
    result = [[lst[i], lst[i + 1]] for i in range(len(lst) - 1)]
    return result
nums =  [1,2,3,4,5,6]
print("Original lists:")
print(nums)
print("Pair up the consecutive elements of the said list:")
print(pair_consecutive_elements(nums))
nums =  [1,2,3,4,5]
print("\nOriginal lists:")
print(nums)
print("Pair up the consecutive elements of the said list:")
print(pair_consecutive_elements(nums))

Sample Output:

Original lists:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Pair up the consecutive elements of the said list:
[[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5], [5, 6]]

Original lists:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Pair up the consecutive elements of the said list:
[[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5]]

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
