When it is required to segregate elements based on a delimiter,
Example
Below is a demonstration of the same −
my_list = ["89@21", "58@51", "19@61", "11@10", "32@65", "34@45", "87@90", "32@21",'1@345']
print("The list is : " )
print(my_list)
print("The list after sorting is :")
my_list.sort()
print(my_list)
my_delimiter = "@"
print("The delimiter is :")
print(my_delimiter)
result_before_delim, result_after_delim = [ele.split(my_delimiter)[0] for ele in my_list],[ele.split(my_delimiter)[1] for ele in my_list]
print("The result containing elements before delimiter is : ")
print(result_before_delim)
print("The result containing elements after delimiter is : ")
print(result_after_delim)Output
The list is : ['89@21', '58@51', '19@61', '11@10', '32@65', '34@45', '87@90', '32@21', '1@345'] The list after sorting is : ['11@10', '19@61', '1@345', '32@21', '32@65', '34@45', '58@51', '87@90', '89@21'] The delimiter is : @ The result containing elements before delimiter is : ['11', '19', '1', '32', '32', '34', '58', '87', '89'] The result containing elements after delimiter is : ['10', '61', '345', '21', '65', '45', '51', '90', '21']
Explanation
A list is defined and is displayed on the console.
It is sorted and displayed on the console again.
The value for delimiter is defined and is displayed on the console
A list comprehension is used to split the delimiter and check if it present in every element of the list.
The string before the delimiter and after the delimiter are displayed on the console.
