So I have this list called data_lst
:
[1,2,3,4]
[3,2,4,1]
[4,3,1,2]
and I want my output to be the numbers by columns, like
[1,3,4]
[2,2,3]
[3,4,1]
[4,1,2]
I have attempted to do this so far...
f = []
for x in data_lst:
for w in range(0,len(x)-1):
f.append(data_lst[w])
print(f)
However, the output I'm getting is the same as the input I provided, which is..
[1,2,3,4]
[3,2,4,1]
[4,3,1,2]
What should I change in my code?
The operation is called transpose of a matrix. You can do it an variety of ways like using numpy, with zip etc. This is just a solution modifying your code.
data_lst = [
[1,2,3,4],
[3,2,4,1],
[4,3,1,2]
]
rowLen = len(data_lst)
colLen = len(data_lst[0])
f = [[0 for _ in range(rowLen)] for _ in range(colLen)]
for c in range(colLen):
for r in range(rowLen):
f[c][r] = data_lst[r][c]
print(f)
