Python exercise 5 - List Overlap
Python exercise 5 - List Overlap
Take two lists, say for example these two: a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89] b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13] and write a program that returns a list that contains only the elements that are common between the lists (without duplicates). Make sure your program works on two lists of different sizes. Extras: Randomly generate two lists to test this Write this in one line of Python (don’t worry if you can’t figure this out at this point - we’ll get to it soon)
Code:
# Randomly generate two lists with 8 numbers import random a=[] b=[] for i in range(0,6): x=random.randint(1,10) y=random.randint(1,10) a.append(x) b.append(y) # another way to Randomly generate two lists a=random.sample(range(1,10),6) b=random.sample(range(1,10),6) print (a) print (b) # return a list that contains only the elements that are common between list a and b c=[] for i in a: if i in b and i not in c: c.append (i) print (c)
