Python: Split a given list into two parts where the length of the first part of the list is given

Python List: Exercise - 78 with Solution

Write a Python program to split a given list into two parts where the length of the first part of the list is given.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def split_two_parts(n_list, L):
    return n_list[:L], n_list[L:]
n_list = [1,1,2,3,4,4,5, 1]
print("Original list:") 
print(n_list)
first_list_length = 3
print("\nLength of the first part of the list:",first_list_length)
print("\nSplited the said list into two parts:")
print(split_two_parts(n_list, first_list_length))

Sample Output: 

Original list:
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 1]

Length of the first part of the list: 3

Splited the said list into two parts:
([1, 1, 2], [3, 4, 4, 5, 1])

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
