I'd like to identify groups of consecutive numbers in a list, so that:
myfunc([2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20])
Returns:
[(2,5), (12,17), 20]
And was wondering what the best way to do this was (particularly if there's something inbuilt into Python).
Edit: Note I originally forgot to mention that individual numbers should be returned as individual numbers, not ranges.
EDIT 2: To answer the OP new requirement
ranges = []
for key, group in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda (index, item): index - item):
group = map(itemgetter(1), group)
if len(group) > 1:
ranges.append(xrange(group[0], group[-1]))
else:
ranges.append(group[0])
Output:
[xrange(2, 5), xrange(12, 17), 20]
You can replace xrange with range or any other custom class.
Python docs have a very neat recipe for this:
from operator import itemgetter
from itertools import groupby
data = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda (i,x):i-x):
print(map(itemgetter(1), g))
Output:
[2, 3, 4, 5]
[12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
If you want to get the exact same output, you can do this:
ranges = []
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda (i,x):i-x):
group = map(itemgetter(1), g)
ranges.append((group[0], group[-1]))
output:
[(2, 5), (12, 17)]
EDIT: The example is already explained in the documentation but maybe I should explain it more:
The key to the solution is
differencing with a range so that
consecutive numbers all appear in same
group.
If the data was: [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
Then groupby(enumerate(data), lambda (i,x):i-x) is equivalent of the following:
groupby(
[(0, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 12),
(5, 13), (6, 14), (7, 15), (8, 16), (9, 17)],
lambda (i,x):i-x
)
The lambda function subtracts the element index from the element value. So when you apply the lambda on each item. You'll get the following keys for groupby:
[-2, -2, -2, -2, -8, -8, -8, -8, -8, -8]
groupby groups elements by equal key value, so the first 4 elements will be grouped together and so forth.
I hope this makes it more readable.

The "naive" solution which I find somewhat readable atleast.
x = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, 25, 26, 28, 51, 52, 57]
def group(L):
first = last = L[0]
for n in L[1:]:
if n - 1 == last: # Part of the group, bump the end
last = n
else: # Not part of the group, yield current group and start a new
yield first, last
first = last = n
yield first, last # Yield the last group
>>>print list(group(x))

Assuming your list is sorted:
>>> from itertools import groupby
>>> def ranges(lst):
pos = (j - i for i, j in enumerate(lst))
t = 0
for i, els in groupby(pos):
l = len(list(els))
el = lst[t]
t += l
yield range(el, el+l)
>>> lst = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]
>>> list(ranges(lst))
[range(2, 6), range(12, 18)]
Here it is something that should work, without any import needed:
def myfunc(lst):
ret = []
a = b = lst[0] # a and b are range's bounds
for el in lst[1:]:
if el == b+1:
b = el # range grows
else: # range ended
ret.append(a if a==b else (a,b)) # is a single or a range?
a = b = el # let's start again with a single
ret.append(a if a==b else (a,b)) # corner case for last single/range
return ret
Please note that the code using groupby doesn't work as given in Python 3 so use this.
for k, g in groupby(enumerate(data), lambda x:x[0]-x[1]):
group = list(map(itemgetter(1), g))
ranges.append((group[0], group[-1]))
This doesn't use a standard function - it just iiterates over the input, but it should work:
def myfunc(l):
r = []
p = q = None
for x in l + [-1]:
if x - 1 == q:
q += 1
else:
if p:
if q > p:
r.append('%s-%s' % (p, q))
else:
r.append(str(p))
p = q = x
return '(%s)' % ', '.join(r)
Note that it requires that the input contains only positive numbers in ascending order. You should validate the input, but this code is omitted for clarity.
import numpy as np
myarray = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20]
sequences = np.split(myarray, np.array(np.where(np.diff(myarray) > 1)[0]) + 1)
l = []
for s in sequences:
if len(s) > 1:
l.append((np.min(s), np.max(s)))
else:
l.append(s[0])
print(l)
Output:
[(2, 5), (12, 17), 20]
I think this way is simpler than any of the answers I've seen here (Edit: fixed based on comment from Pleastry):
data = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20]
starts = [x for x in data if x-1 not in data and x+1 in data]
ends = [x for x in data if x-1 in data and x+1 not in data and x not in starts]
singles = [x for x in data if x-1 not in data and x+1 not in data]
list(zip(starts, ends)) + singles
Output:
[(2, 5), (12, 17), 20]
Edited:
As #dawg notes, this is O(n**2). One option to improve performance would be to convert the original list to a set (and also the starts list to a set) i.e.
data = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20]
data_as_set = set(data)
starts = [x for x in data_as_set if x-1 not in data_as_set and x+1 in data_as_set]
startset = set(starts)
ends = [x for x in data_as_set if x-1 in data_as_set and x+1 not in data_as_set and x not in startset]
singles = [x for x in data_as_set if x-1 not in data_as_set and x+1 not in data_as_set]
print(list(zip(starts, ends)) + singles)
Using groupby and count from itertools gives us a short solution. The idea is that, in an increasing sequence, the difference between the index and the value will remain the same.
In order to keep track of the index, we can use an itertools.count, which makes the code cleaner as using enumerate:
from itertools import groupby, count
def intervals(data):
out = []
counter = count()
for key, group in groupby(data, key = lambda x: x-next(counter)):
block = list(group)
out.append([block[0], block[-1]])
return out
Some sample output:
print(intervals([0, 1, 3, 4, 6]))
# [[0, 1], [3, 4], [6, 6]]
print(intervals([2, 3, 4, 5]))
# [[2, 5]]
This is my method in which I tried to prioritize readability. Note that it returns a tuple of the same values if there is only one value in a group. That can be fixed easily in the second snippet I'll post.
def group(values):
"""return the first and last value of each continuous set in a list of sorted values"""
values = sorted(values)
first = last = values[0]
for index in values[1:]:
if index - last > 1: # triggered if in a new group
yield first, last
first = index # update first only if in a new group
last = index # update last on every iteration
yield first, last # this is needed to yield the last set of numbers
Here is the result of a test:
values = [0, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 44, 45, 50]
result = list(group(values))
print(result)
result = [(0, 0), (5, 7), (12, 13), (21, 26), (30, 30), (44, 45), (50, 50)]
If you want to return only a single value in the case of a single value in a group, just add a conditional check to the yields:
def group(values):
"""return the first and last value of each continuous set in a list of sorted values"""
values = sorted(values)
first = last = values[0]
for index in values[1:]:
if index - last > 1: # triggered if in a new group
if first == last:
yield first
else:
yield first, last
first = index # update first only if in a new group
last = index # update last on every iteration
if first == last:
yield first
else:
yield first, last
result = [0, (5, 7), (12, 13), (21, 26), 30, (44, 45), 50]
Here's the answer I came up with. I'm writing the code for other people to understand, so I'm fairly verbose with variable names and comments.
First a quick helper function:
def getpreviousitem(mylist,myitem):
'''Given a list and an item, return previous item in list'''
for position, item in enumerate(mylist):
if item == myitem:
# First item has no previous item
if position == 0:
return None
# Return previous item
return mylist[position-1]
And then the actual code:
def getranges(cpulist):
'''Given a sorted list of numbers, return a list of ranges'''
rangelist = []
inrange = False
for item in cpulist:
previousitem = getpreviousitem(cpulist,item)
if previousitem == item - 1:
# We're in a range
if inrange == True:
# It's an existing range - change the end to the current item
newrange[1] = item
else:
# We've found a new range.
newrange = [item-1,item]
# Update to show we are now in a range
inrange = True
else:
# We were in a range but now it just ended
if inrange == True:
# Save the old range
rangelist.append(newrange)
# Update to show we're no longer in a range
inrange = False
# Add the final range found to our list
if inrange == True:
rangelist.append(newrange)
return rangelist
Example run:
getranges([2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17])
returns:
[[2, 5], [12, 17]]
Using numpy + comprehension lists:
With numpy diff function, consequent input vector entries that their difference is not equal to one can be identified. The start and end of the input vector need to be considered.
import numpy as np
data = np.array([2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20])
d = [i for i, df in enumerate(np.diff(data)) if df!= 1]
d = np.hstack([-1, d, len(data)-1]) # add first and last elements
d = np.vstack([d[:-1]+1, d[1:]]).T
print(data[d])
Output:
[[ 2 5]
[12 17]
[20 20]]
Note: The request that individual numbers should be treated differently, (returned as individual, not ranges) was omitted. This can be reached by further post-processing the results. Usually this will make things more complex without gaining any benefit.
One-liner in Python 2.7 if interested:
x = [2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21]
d = iter(x[:1] + sum(([i1, i2] for i1, i2 in zip(x, x[1:] + x[:1]) if i2 != i1+1), []))
print zip(d, d)
>>> [(2, 3), (6, 8), (14, 15), (19, 21)]
A short solution that works without additional imports. It accepts any iterable, sorts unsorted inputs, and removes duplicate items:
def ranges(nums):
nums = sorted(set(nums))
gaps = [[s, e] for s, e in zip(nums, nums[1:]) if s+1 < e]
edges = iter(nums[:1] + sum(gaps, []) + nums[-1:])
return list(zip(edges, edges))
Example:
>>> ranges([2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 15])
[(2, 4), (7, 9), (15, 15)]
>>> ranges([-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 15, 100])
[(-1, 3), (12, 13), (15, 15), (100, 100)]
>>> ranges(range(100))
[(0, 99)]
>>> ranges([0])
[(0, 0)]
>>> ranges([])
[]
This is the same as #dansalmo's solution which I found amazing, albeit a bit hard to read and apply (as it's not given as a function).
Note that it could easily be modified to spit out "traditional" open ranges [start, end), by e.g. altering the return statement:
return [(s, e+1) for s, e in zip(edges, edges)]
I copied this answer over from another question that was marked as a duplicate of this one with the intention to make it easier findable (after I just now searched again for this topic, finding only the question here at first and not being satisfied with the answers given).
The versions by Mark Byers, Andrea Ambu, SilentGhost, Nadia Alramli, and truppo are simple and fast. The 'truppo' version encouraged me to write a version that retains the same nimble behavior while handling step sizes other than 1 (and lists as singletons elements that don't extend more than 1 step with a given step size). It is given here.
>>> list(ranges([1,2,3,4,3,2,1,3,5,7,11,1,2,3]))
[(1, 4, 1), (3, 1, -1), (3, 7, 2), 11, (1, 3, 1)]
Not the best approach , but here is my 2 cents
def getConsecutiveValues2(arr):
x = ""
final = []
end = 0
start = 0
for i in range(1,len(arr)) :
if arr[i] - arr[i-1] == 1 :
end = i
else :
print(start,end)
final.append(arr[start:end+1])
start = i
if i == len(arr) - 1 :
final.append(arr[start:end+1])
return final
x = [1,2,3,5,6,8,9,10,11,12]
print(getConsecutiveValues2(x))
>> [[1, 2, 3], [5, 6], [8, 9, 10, 11]]
This implementation works for regular or irregular steps
I needed to achieve the same thing but with the slight difference where steps can be irregular. this is my implementation
def ranges(l):
if not len(l):
return range(0,0)
elif len(l)==1:
return range(l[0],l[0]+1)
# get steps
sl = sorted(l)
steps = [i-j for i,j in zip(sl[1:],sl[:-1])]
# get unique steps indexes range
groups = [[0,0,steps[0]],]
for i,s in enumerate(steps):
if s==groups[-1][-1]:
groups[-1][1] = i+1
else:
groups.append( [i+1,i+1,s] )
g2 = groups[-2]
if g2[0]==g2[1]:
if sl[i+1]-sl[i]==s:
_=groups.pop(-2)
groups[-1][0] = i
# create list of ranges
return [range(sl[i],sl[j]+s,s) if s!=0 else [sl[i]]*(j+1-i) for i,j,s in groups]
Here's an example
from timeit import timeit
# for regular ranges
l = list(range(1000000))
ranges(l)
>>> [range(0, 1000000)]
l = list(range(10)) + list(range(20,25)) + [1,2,3]
ranges(l)
>>> [range(0, 2), range(1, 3), range(2, 4), range(3, 10), range(20, 25)]
sorted(l);[list(i) for i in ranges(l)]
>>> [0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24]
>>> [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], [20, 21, 22, 23, 24]]
# for irregular steps list
l = [1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 100, 200, 300, 400, 60, 99, 4000,4001]
ranges(l)
>>> [range(1, 9, 2), range(10, 13), range(60, 138, 39), range(100, 500, 100), range(4000, 4002)]
## Speed test
timeit("ranges(l)","from __main__ import ranges,l", number=1000)/1000
>>> 9.303160999934334e-06
Yet another solution if you expect your input to be a set:
def group_years(years):
consecutive_years = []
for year in years:
close = {y for y in years if abs(y - year) == 1}
for group in consecutive_years:
if len(close.intersection(group)):
group |= close
break
else:
consecutive_years.append({year, *close})
return consecutive_years
Example:
group_years({2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022})
Out[54]: [{2016, 2017}, {2019, 2020}, {2022}]
I'd like to identify groups of consecutive numbers in a list, so that:
myfunc([2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20])
Returns:
[(2,5), (12,17), 20]
And was wondering what the best way to do this was (particularly if there's something inbuilt into Python).
Edit: Note I originally forgot to mention that individual numbers should be returned as individual numbers, not ranges.
EDIT 2: To answer the OP new requirement
ranges = []

group = map(itemgetter(1), group)
if len(group) > 1:
ranges.append(xrange(group[0], group[-1]))
else:
ranges.append(group[0])
Output:
[xrange(2, 5), xrange(12, 17), 20]
You can replace xrange with range or any other custom class.

print(map(itemgetter(1), g))

sequences = np.split(myarray, np.array(np.where(np.diff(myarray) > 1)[0]) + 1)
l = []
for s in sequences:
if len(s) > 1:
l.append((np.min(s), np.max(s)))
else:
l.append(s[0])
print(l)
Output:
[(2, 5), (12, 17), 20]
I think this way is simpler than any of the answers I've seen here (Edit: fixed based on comment from Pleastry):
data = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20]
starts = [x for x in data if x-1 not in data and x+1 in data]
ends = [x for x in data if x-1 in data and x+1 not in data and x not in starts]
singles = [x for x in data if x-1 not in data and x+1 not in data]
list(zip(starts, ends)) + singles
Output:
[(2, 5), (12, 17), 20]
Edited:
As #dawg notes, this is O(n**2). One option to improve performance would be to convert the original list to a set (and also the starts list to a set) i.e.
data = [2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20]
data_as_set = set(data)
starts = [x for x in data_as_set if x-1 not in data_as_set and x+1 in data_as_set]
startset = set(starts)
ends = [x for x in data_as_set if x-1 in data_as_set and x+1 not in data_as_set and x not in startset]
singles = [x for x in data_as_set if x-1 not in data_as_set and x+1 not in data_as_set]
print(list(zip(starts, ends)) + singles)
Using groupby and count from itertools gives us a short solution. The idea is that, in an increasing sequence, the difference between the index and the value will remain the same.
In order to keep track of the index, we can use an itertools.count, which makes the code cleaner as using enumerate:
from itertools import groupby, count
def intervals(data):
out = []
counter = count()
for key, group in groupby(data, key = lambda x: x-next(counter)):
block = list(group)
out.append([block[0], block[-1]])
return out
Some sample output:
print(intervals([0, 1, 3, 4, 6]))
# [[0, 1], [3, 4], [6, 6]]
print(intervals([2, 3, 4, 5]))
# [[2, 5]]
This is my method in which I tried to prioritize readability. Note that it returns a tuple of the same values if there is only one value in a group. That can be fixed easily in the second snippet I'll post.
def group(values):
"""return the first and last value of each continuous set in a list of sorted values"""
values = sorted(values)
first = last = values[0]
for index in values[1:]:
if index - last > 1: # triggered if in a new group
yield first, last
first = index # update first only if in a new group
last = index # update last on every iteration
yield first, last # this is needed to yield the last set of numbers
Here is the result of a test:
values = [0, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 44, 45, 50]
result = list(group(values))
print(result)
result = [(0, 0), (5, 7), (12, 13), (21, 26), (30, 30), (44, 45), (50, 50)]
If you want to return only a single value in the case of a single value in a group, just add a conditional check to the yields:
def group(values):
"""return the first and last value of each continuous set in a list of sorted values"""
values = sorted(values)
first = last = values[0]
for index in values[1:]:
if index - last > 1: # triggered if in a new group
if first == last:
yield first
else:
yield first, last
first = index # update first only if in a new group
last = index # update last on every iteration
if first == last:
yield first
else:
yield first, last
result = [0, (5, 7), (12, 13), (21, 26), 30, (44, 45), 50]
Here's the answer I came up with. I'm writing the code for other people to understand, so I'm fairly verbose with variable names and comments.
First a quick helper function:
def getpreviousitem(mylist,myitem):
'''Given a list and an item, return previous item in list'''
for position, item in enumerate(mylist):
if item == myitem:
# First item has no previous item
if position == 0:
return None
# Return previous item
return mylist[position-1]
And then the actual code:
def getranges(cpulist):
'''Given a sorted list of numbers, return a list of ranges'''
rangelist = []
inrange = False
for item in cpulist:
previousitem = getpreviousitem(cpulist,item)
if previousitem == item - 1:
# We're in a range
if inrange == True:
# It's an existing range - change the end to the current item
newrange[1] = item
else:
# We've found a new range.
newrange = [item-1,item]
# Update to show we are now in a range
inrange = True
else:
# We were in a range but now it just ended
if inrange == True:
# Save the old range
rangelist.append(newrange)
# Update to show we're no longer in a range
inrange = False
# Add the final range found to our list
if inrange == True:
rangelist.append(newrange)
return rangelist
Example run:
getranges([2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17])
returns:
[[2, 5], [12, 17]]
Using numpy + comprehension lists:
With numpy diff function, consequent input vector entries that their difference is not equal to one can be identified. The start and end of the input vector need to be considered.
import numpy as np
data = np.array([2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20])
d = [i for i, df in enumerate(np.diff(data)) if df!= 1]
d = np.hstack([-1, d, len(data)-1]) # add first and last elements
d = np.vstack([d[:-1]+1, d[1:]]).T
print(data[d])
Output:
[[ 2 5]
[12 17]
[20 20]]
Note: The request that individual numbers should be treated differently, (returned as individual, not ranges) was omitted. This can be reached by further post-processing the results. Usually this will make things more complex without gaining any benefit.
One-liner in Python 2.7 if interested:
x = [2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21]
d = iter(x[:1] + sum(([i1, i2] for i1, i2 in zip(x, x[1:] + x[:1]) if i2 != i1+1), []))
print zip(d, d)
>>> [(2, 3), (6, 8), (14, 15), (19, 21)]
A short solution that works without additional imports. It accepts any iterable, sorts unsorted inputs, and removes duplicate items:
def ranges(nums):
nums = sorted(set(nums))
gaps = [[s, e] for s, e in zip(nums, nums[1:]) if s+1 < e]
edges = iter(nums[:1] + sum(gaps, []) + nums[-1:])
return list(zip(edges, edges))
Example:
>>> ranges([2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 15])
[(2, 4), (7, 9), (15, 15)]
>>> ranges([-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 15, 100])
[(-1, 3), (12, 13), (15, 15), (100, 100)]
>>> ranges(range(100))
[(0, 99)]
>>> ranges([0])
[(0, 0)]
>>> ranges([])
[]
This is the same as #dansalmo's solution which I found amazing, albeit a bit hard to read and apply (as it's not given as a function).
Note that it could easily be modified to spit out "traditional" open ranges [start, end), by e.g. altering the return statement:
return [(s, e+1) for s, e in zip(edges, edges)]
I copied this answer over from another question that was marked as a duplicate of this one with the intention to make it easier findable (after I just now searched again for this topic, finding only the question here at first and not being satisfied with the answers given).
The versions by Mark Byers, Andrea Ambu, SilentGhost, Nadia Alramli, and truppo are simple and fast. The 'truppo' version encouraged me to write a version that retains the same nimble behavior while handling step sizes other than 1 (and lists as singletons elements that don't extend more than 1 step with a given step size). It is given here.
>>> list(ranges([1,2,3,4,3,2,1,3,5,7,11,1,2,3]))
[(1, 4, 1), (3, 1, -1), (3, 7, 2), 11, (1, 3, 1)]
Not the best approach , but here is my 2 cents
def getConsecutiveValues2(arr):
x = ""
final = []
end = 0
start = 0
for i in range(1,len(arr)) :
if arr[i] - arr[i-1] == 1 :
end = i
else :
print(start,end)
final.append(arr[start:end+1])
start = i
if i == len(arr) - 1 :
final.append(arr[start:end+1])
return final
x = [1,2,3,5,6,8,9,10,11,12]
print(getConsecutiveValues2(x))
>> [[1, 2, 3], [5, 6], [8, 9, 10, 11]]
This implementation works for regular or irregular steps
I needed to achieve the same thing but with the slight difference where steps can be irregular. this is my implementation
def ranges(l):
if not len(l):
return range(0,0)
elif len(l)==1:
return range(l[0],l[0]+1)
# get steps
sl = sorted(l)
steps = [i-j for i,j in zip(sl[1:],sl[:-1])]
# get unique steps indexes range
groups = [[0,0,steps[0]],]
for i,s in enumerate(steps):
if s==groups[-1][-1]:
groups[-1][1] = i+1
else:
groups.append( [i+1,i+1,s] )
g2 = groups[-2]
if g2[0]==g2[1]:
if sl[i+1]-sl[i]==s:
_=groups.pop(-2)
groups[-1][0] = i
# create list of ranges
return [range(sl[i],sl[j]+s,s) if s!=0 else [sl[i]]*(j+1-i) for i,j,s in groups]
Here's an example
from timeit import timeit
# for regular ranges
l = list(range(1000000))
ranges(l)
>>> [range(0, 1000000)]
l = list(range(10)) + list(range(20,25)) + [1,2,3]
ranges(l)
>>> [range(0, 2), range(1, 3), range(2, 4), range(3, 10), range(20, 25)]
sorted(l);[list(i) for i in ranges(l)]
>>> [0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24]
>>> [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], [20, 21, 22, 23, 24]]
# for irregular steps list
l = [1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 100, 200, 300, 400, 60, 99, 4000,4001]
ranges(l)
>>> [range(1, 9, 2), range(10, 13), range(60, 138, 39), range(100, 500, 100), range(4000, 4002)]
## Speed test
timeit("ranges(l)","from __main__ import ranges,l", number=1000)/1000
>>> 9.303160999934334e-06
Yet another solution if you expect your input to be a set:
def group_years(years):
consecutive_years = []
for year in years:
close = {y for y in years if abs(y - year) == 1}
for group in consecutive_years:
if len(close.intersection(group)):
group |= close
break
else:
consecutive_years.append({year, *close})
return consecutive_years
Example:
group_years({2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022})
Out[54]: [{2016, 2017}, {2019, 2020}, {2022}]
I have 2 Lists named 'speciality' and 'count', which are part of a Dictionary 'P' . I Zip sorted both the 'Lists' on Descending order of 'count' List.
speciality = ['Cardiology' , 'Nephrology', 'ENT', 'Opthalmology' 'Oncology']
count = [2, 7, 9, 9, 1]
count, speciality = zip(*[[x, y] for x, y in sorted(zip(count, speciality), reverse=True)])
P = {'Speciliaty': speciality, 'Count': count}
print(P)
# {'Speciliaty': ('Opthalmology', 'ENT', 'Nephrology', 'Cardiology', 'Oncology'), 'Count': (9, 9, 7, 2, 1)}
Please notice, the elements 'Opthalmology' and 'ENT' has the same count 9.
But, after doing the Zip Sort.
'Opthalmology' appeared before 'ENT' in the Output Tuple. In the Input the order is 'ENT' first then 'Opthalmology'.
Can we make the output like below:
P = {'Speciliaty': ('ENT', 'Opthalmology', 'Nephrology', 'Cardiology', 'Oncology'), 'Count': (9, 9, 7, 2, 1)}
You need to set the key in sorted to sort by count.
Ex:
speciality = ['Cardiology' , 'Nephrology', 'ENT', 'Opthalmology', 'Oncology']
count = [2, 7, 9, 9, 1]
count, speciality = zip(*[[x, y] for x, y in sorted(zip(count, speciality), key=lambda x: x[0], reverse=True)])
P = {'Speciliaty': speciality, 'Count': count}
print(P)
Output:
{'Count': (9, 9, 7, 2, 1), 'Speciliaty': ('ENT', 'Opthalmology', 'Nephrology', 'Cardiology', 'Oncology')}
i have a list :
a=[1, 2, 3, 300] # this is IDs of workers
And a list of tuples :
f=[(1, 1, 1), (1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0), (1, 500, 600)]
For every element in a ( a[i]) it has a related element (tuple) in f ( f[i) ) . So what i need is to sum the elements in f[i] for every a[i] till certain indices according to user . For example if user want the summation to end till certain index say 2 , the output will then be for ID 1=a[0] --> sum will be 2 (f[0]=1 +f[1]=1 ) , for ID 2=a[2] --> the summation is 1 [f[0]=0+f[1]=1] and so on till a[3]
here is my code :
str1=int(input('enter the index[enter -->1/2/3]'))
a=[1, 2, 3, 300]
f=[(1, 1, 1), (1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0), (1, 500, 600)]
length=len(a)
temp=0 #sum
for i in range(0,length):
y=a[i]
att_2=f[i]
print("{} {}".format("The worker ID is ", y))
for z in range(0,(str1)):
temp=temp+att_2[i]
print(temp) # tracing the sum
I getting a error plus wrong result for some a[i] :
enter the index[enter -->1/2/3]2
temp=temp+att_2[i]
IndexError: tuple index out of range
The Student ID is 1
1
2
The Student ID is 2
2
2
The Student ID is 3
2
2
The Student ID is 300
Process finished with exit code 1
I am trying to fix these errors , but i cannot find its reasons. Thank you
Your Error is because you have mixed up the variable i and the variable z.
Your code loops through the tuple using variable i and that will result in an error as the maximum value i will take is calculated for another set of instructions.
A switch of variables on line 11 will fix your problems
Original:
str1=int(input('enter the index[enter -->1/2/3]'))
a=[1, 2, 3, 300]
f=[(1, 1, 1), (1, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0), (1, 500, 600)]
length=len(a)
temp=0 #sum
for i in range(0,length):
y=a[i]
att_2=f[i]
print("{} {}".format("The worker ID is ", y))
for z in range(0,(str1)):
temp=temp+att_2[i]
print(temp) # tracing the sum
New:
str1=int(input('enter the index[enter -->1/2/3]'))
a=[1, 2, 3, 300]

I have a nested list that contains different variables in it. I am trying to check the difference value between two consecutive items, where if a condition match, group these items together.
i.e.
Item 1 happened on 1-6-2012 1 pm
Item 2 happened on 1-6-2012 4 pm
Item 3 happened on 1-6-2012 6 pm
Item 4 happened on 3-6-2012 5 pm
Item 5 happened on 5-6-2012 5 pm
I want to group the items that have gaps less than 24 Hours. In this case, Items 1, 2 and 3 belong to a group, Item 4 belong to a group and Item 5 belong to another group. I tried the following code:
Time = []
All_Traps = []
Traps = []
Dic_Traps = defaultdict(list)
Traps_CSV = csv.reader(open("D:/Users/d774911/Desktop/Telstra Internship/Working files/Traps_Generic_Features.csv"))
for rows in Traps_CSV:
All_Traps.append(rows)
All_Traps.sort(key=lambda x: x[9])
for length in xrange(len(All_Traps)):
if length == (len(All_Traps) - 1):
break
Node_Name_1 = All_Traps[length][2]
Node_Name_2 = All_Traps[length + 1][2]
Event_Type_1 = All_Traps[length][5]
Event_Type_2 = All_Traps[length + 1][5]
Time_1 = All_Traps[length][9]
Time_2 = All_Traps[length + 1][9]
Difference = datetime.strptime(Time_2[0:19], '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S') - datetime.strptime(Time_1[0:19], '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')
if Node_Name_1 == Node_Name_2 and \
Event_Type_1 == Event_Type_2 and \
float(Difference.seconds) / (60*60) < 24:
Dic_Traps[length].append(All_Traps[Length])
But I am missing some items. Ideas?
For sorted list you may use groupby. Here is a simplified example (you should convert your date strings to datetime objects), it should give the main idea:
from itertools import groupby
import datetime
SRC_DATA = [
(1, datetime.datetime(2015, 06, 20, 1)),
(2, datetime.datetime(2015, 06, 20, 4)),
(3, datetime.datetime(2015, 06, 20, 5)),
(4, datetime.datetime(2015, 06, 21, 1)),
(5, datetime.datetime(2015, 06, 22, 1)),
(6, datetime.datetime(2015, 06, 22, 4)),
]
for group_date, group in groupby(SRC_DATA, key=lambda X: X[1].date()):
print "Group {}: {}".format(group_date, list(group))
Output:
$ python python_groupby.py
Group 2015-06-20: [(1, datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 20, 1, 0)), (2, datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 20, 4, 0)), (3, datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 20, 5, 0))]
Group 2015-06-21: [(4, datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 21, 1, 0))]
Group 2015-06-22: [(5, datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 22, 1, 0)), (6, datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 22, 4, 0))]
First of all, change those horrible cased variable names. Python has its own convention of naming variables, classes, methods and so on. It's called snake case.
Now, on to what you need to do:
import datetime as dt
import pprint
ts_dict = {}
with open('timex.dat', 'r+') as f:
for line in f.read().splitlines():
if line:
item = line.split('happened')[0].strip().split(' ')[1]
timestamp_string = line.split('on')[-1].split('pm')[0]
datetime_stamp = dt.datetime.strptime(timestamp_string.strip(), "%d-%m-%Y %H")
ts_dict[item] = datetime_stamp
This is a hackish way of giving you this:
item_timestamp_dict= {
'1': datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 1, 1, 0),
'2': datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 1, 4, 0),
'3': datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 1, 6, 0),
'4': datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 3, 5, 0),
'5': datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 5, 5, 0)}
A dictionary of item # as key, and their datetime timestamp as value.
You can use the datetime timestamp values' item_timestamp_dict['1'].hour values to do your calculation.
EDIT: It can be optimized a lot.
