🔒 Is there an easier way to do this?

[mighty ridge]

Given a list,
[101, 102, 103, 201, 202, 203]
How would you go through 3 items at a time, like 101, 102,103

u want a sliding window

[mighty ridge]

Yes

[mighty ridge]

Nooooo

It should be sliding 3 over

[fading pine]

u can configure size however u want

[mighty ridge]

so 1,15,1
then 2,6,12

[fading pine]

if u understand how it works with 4 elements u can just make it work for 3 with a adjustment of just a number

[mighty ridge]

the length is not my problem, it needs to be exclusive.

[fading pine]

anyways, there is tons of different ways to do this, how much python experience u got and do u know list slicing

[fading pine]

oh not usual sliding window then

[mighty ridge]

I got usual sliding window using this

for index,item in enumerate(colm1):
    try:
        print(item,colm1[index+1],colm1[index+2])
    except IndexError:
        pass

[fading pine]

usually using range is easier for these kind of needs

because we already doing everything based on index, so just makes life easier

[mighty ridge]

for i in range(0,len(colm1),3):
    print(colm1[i])
    print(colm1[i+1])
    print(colm1[i+2])

[fading pine]

!e

colm1 = [1,15,1,2,6,12]

for i in range(0,len(colm1),3):
    print(colm1[i])
    print(colm1[i+1])
    print(colm1[i+2])
    print()

:white_check_mark: Your 3.13 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 1
002 | 15
003 | 1
004 | 
005 | 2
006 | 6
007 | 12

[fading pine]

it works

[mighty ridge]

yeah just wondering if theres an easier way

looks weirddd

[fading pine]

easier way is slicing

[mighty ridge]

show

[fading pine]

so

slicing uses same input format as range

start stop step

[mighty ridge]

oh wait i got it

[fading pine]

!e

colm1 = [1,15,1,2,6,12]

print(colm1[0:5:2])

[fair flame]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.13 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[1, 1, 6]

[mighty ridge]

for i in range(0,len(colm1),3):
    print(colm1[i:i+3])

ok thanks, im kinda new

it just didn't come to mind

[fading pine]

[fading pine]
