When it is required to extend consecutive tuples, a simple iteration is used.
Example
Below is a demonstration of the same −
my_list = [(13, 526, 73), (23, 67, 0, 72, 24, 13), (94, 42), (11, 62, 23, 12), (93, ), (83, 61)]
print("The list is :")
print(my_list)
my_list.sort(reverse=True)
print("The list after sorting in reverse is :")
print(my_list)
my_result = []
for index in range(len(my_list) - 1):
my_result.append(my_list[index] + my_list[index + 1])
print("The result is :")
print(my_result)Output
The list is : [(13, 526, 73), (23, 67, 0, 72, 24, 13), (94, 42), (11, 62, 23, 12), (93,), (83, 61)] The list after sorting in reverse is : [(94, 42), (93,), (83, 61), (23, 67, 0, 72, 24, 13), (13, 526, 73), (11, 62, 23, 12)] The result is : [(94, 42, 93), (93, 83, 61), (83, 61, 23, 67, 0, 72, 24, 13), (23, 67, 0, 72, 24, 13, 13, 526, 73), (13, 526, 73, 11, 62, 23, 12)]
Explanation
A list of tuples is defined and is displayed on the console.
It is sorted in reverse using ‘sorted’ method and displayed on the console.
An empty list is created.
The list is iterated over, consecutive elements are added and appended to the empty list.
This is the output that is displayed on the console.
