Find Items & Indices In A List...

[andrea.gavana]

Hello NG,

I was wondering if there is a faster/nicer method (than a for loop)
that will allow me to find the elements (AND their indices) in a list that
verify a certain condition. For example, assuming that I have a list like:

mylist = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 10]

I would like to find the indices of the elements in the list that are equal
to 1 (in this case, the 1,2,3,4,9 elements are equal to 1). I could easily
use a for loop but I was wondering if there is a faster method...

Thanks for every suggestion.

Andrea.

You could do a list comprehension /generator expression. Like this:
[i for i in range(len(mylis t)) if mylist[i] == 1]

One way:

mylist = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, 10]
[i for i,v in enumerate(mylis t) if v==1]

[1, 2, 3, 4, 9]

Everyone has already given you the answer (enumerate in a LC or GE), I'd
just comment that it's easy enough to extend their answers to any given
condition:

def getindices(sequ ence, predicate): .... return [i for i, v in enumerate(seque nce) if predicate(v)]
.... getindices([0,1,1,1,1,5,6,7 ,8,1,10], bool) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] def equalsone(v): .... return v == 1
.... getindices([0,1,1,1,1,5,6,7 ,8,1,10], equalsone) [1, 2, 3, 4, 9] def f(v): .... return pow(v, 3, 4) == 3
.... getindices([0,1,1,1,1,5,6,7 ,8,1,10], f)
