Python: Check if a given function returns True for every element in a list

Python List: Exercise - 243 with Solution

Write a Python program to check if a given function returns True for every element in a list.

Use all() in combination with map() and fn to check if fn returns True for all elements in the list.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def every(lst, fn = lambda x: x):
  return all(map(fn, lst))
print(every([4, 2, 3], lambda x: x > 1))
print(every([4, 2, 3], lambda x: x < 1))
print(every([4, 2, 3], lambda x: x == 1))

Sample Output:

True
False
False

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
