Nested List Loop












3















I would like to loop the nest list ['sally','joe'] in the example shown below.



data = ['joe','mike',['sally','joe'],'phil']


I attempted the following:



for i in data:

    for j in (i):

        if type(j) == '<class '+"'list'>":    

            print(j)





python list class for-loop if-statement

  • Please show your desired output. Is it ['sally','joe'] or is it joe mike sally joe phil (with newlines between)?

Why not just isinstance:



for i in data:

    if isinstance(i,list):

        print(i)


Now the output is:



['sally', 'joe']

    You would need to use:



    if type(j) == list:
    
    print(j)


    It doesn't currently work because type(j) returns an object of class type, not a string. You might think it is a string because when printing it in a REPL interpreter, you might see the repr(..) version.

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

            Image
            3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

            Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

            Image
            up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
