Skip elements on a condition based in a list comprehension in python

Question

I have a list List:

List = [-2,9,4,-6,7,0,1,-4]

For numbers less than zero (0) in the list , I would like to skip those numbers and form another list.

Example:-

List = [9,4,7,0,1]

This is a kind of doubt I have, not sure If we can achieve. If it's possible to achieve, can anyone please post here.

Answer 1

You have many options to achieve that. With a list comprehension you can do:

my_list = [i for i in my_list if i >= 0]

With filter():

my_list = filter(lambda i: i >= 0, my_list)

Note:

In Python 3, filter() returns a filter object (not list), to convert it to a list, you can do:

my_list = list(filter(lambda i: i >= 0, my_list))
