Python: Find the items start with specific character from a given list
Python List: Exercise - 70 with Solution
Write a Python program to find items starting with a specific character from a list.
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
def test(lst, char):
result = [i for i in lst if i.startswith(char)]
return result
text = ["abcd", "abc", "bcd", "bkie", "cder", "cdsw", "sdfsd", "dagfa", "acjd"]
print("\nOriginal list:")
print(text)
char = "a"
print("\nItems start with",char,"from the said list:")
print(test(text, char))
char = "d"
print("\nItems start with",char,"from the said list:")
print(test(text, char))
char = "w"
print("\nItems start with",char,"from the said list:")
print(test(text, char))
Sample Output:
Original list: ['abcd', 'abc', 'bcd', 'bkie', 'cder', 'cdsw', 'sdfsd', 'dagfa', 'acjd'] Items start with a from the said list: ['abcd', 'abc', 'acjd'] Items start with d from the said list: ['dagfa'] Items start with w from the said 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))
