I was looking at a way to implement Ruby's upto method in python. I came
up with the code below... three years ago, I would never have thought of
list comprehension, today it seems second nature. This may be totally
un-Pythonic, but I thought it was kind of clever. Man, for some reason,
I feel like being rude and lofty acting :)
low_odds = [1,3,5,7,9]
# make a list containing 10 - 98 evens only
big_evens = big_evens = [x for x in list(xrange(99) ) if x % 2 == 0 and
x >8]
low_evens = [2,4,6,8]
# make a list containing 11 - 99 odds only
big_odds = [x for x in list(xrange(100 )) if x % 2 != 0 and x >9]
y = 8
if y in low_evens:
ok_numbers = low_odds + big_evens + [x for x in low_evens if x <= y]

Why use xrange if you convert it to a full list in place? No
advantage there.

Neat, but not as clever or as hard to read as mine... I'll bet it faster
though... maybe not.
The upto part is here:
ok_numbers = low_odds + big_evens + [x for x in low_evens if x <= y] This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I use an ISDN monitor which displays caller ID. In stead of entering all

So far I managed to do so, I wrote a vb console app which queries the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
