With python, I would like to run a test over an entire list, and, if all the statements are true for each item in the list, take a certain action.
Pseudo-code: If "test involving x" is true for every x in "list", then do "this".
It seems like there should be a simple way to do this.
What syntax should I use in python?
For Loop in Python For loops are used for sequential traversal. For example: traversing a list or string or array etc. In Python, there is no C style for loop, i.e., for (i=0; i<n; i++).
Example. #!/usr/bin/python3 for letter in 'Python': # traversal of a string sequence print ('Current Letter :', letter) print() fruits = ['banana', 'apple', 'mango'] for fruit in fruits: # traversal of List sequence print ('Current fruit :', fruit) print ("Good bye!")
You can put a for loop inside an if statement using a technique called a nested control flow. This is the process of putting a control statement inside of another control statement to execute an action. You can put an if statements inside for loops.
Use all()
. It takes an iterable as an argument and return True
if all entries evaluate to True
. Example:
if all((3, True, "abc")):
print "Yes!"
You will probably need some kind of generator expression, like
if all(x > 3 for x in lst):
do_stuff()
>>> x = [True, False, True, False]
>>> all(x)
False
all() returns True
if all the elements in the list are True
Similarly, any() will return True
if any element is true.
