im trying to filter a list for numbers greater than a certain value whilst keeping any strings in the list.
Id like to acheive this without a loop, so preferably a list comprehension. So far i have this, i know why its not working but im unsure how to get it to work
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 'hello', 'world']
filtered_list = [x for x in my_list if (isinstance(x,str)) | ((isinstance(x,int))&(x>2))]
expected result:
[3, 'hello', 'world']
Actual result:
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'
You need to use logical operators. You can also reduce it to one isinstance using not
filtered_list = [x for x in my_list if not (isinstance(x, int) and x < 3)]
print(filtered_list) # [3, 'hello', 'world']
