When it is required to find the character position of ‘K’th word from a list of strings, a list comprehension along with enumerate is used.
Example
Below is a demonstration of the same −
my_list = ["python", "is", "fun", "to", "learn"]
print("The list is :")
print(my_list)
K = 15
print("The value of K is :")
print(K)
my_result = [element[0] for sub in enumerate(my_list) for element in enumerate(sub[1])]
my_result = my_result[K]
print("The result is :")
print(my_result)Output
The list is : ['python', 'is', 'fun', 'to', 'learn'] The value of K is : 15 The result is : 2
Explanation
A list of strings is defined and is displayed on the console.
A value for ‘K’ is defined and is displayed on the console.
A list comprehension is used to iterate over the elements of the list using enumerate.
The zeroth element in every element is accessed using enumerate
This is converted to a list.
Since enumerate is used, the output would be an integer here.
The ‘K’th element of this list is displayed as the output on the console.
