Python – Sort Matrix by Palindrome count

PythonServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

When it is required to sort matrix based on palindrome count, a method is defined that takes a list as parameter. It uses the list comprehension and ‘join’ method to iterate and see if an element is a palindrome or not. Based on this, results are determined and displayed.

Example

Below is a demonstration of the same

def get_palindrome_count(row):
return len([element for element in row if''.join(list(reversed(element))) == element])
my_list = [["abcba", "hdgfue", "abc"], ["peep"],["py", "is", "best"],["sees", "level", "non", "noon"]]

print("The list is :")
print(my_list)

my_list.sort(key=get_palindrome_count)

print("The resultant list is :")
print(my_list)

Output

The list is :
[['abcba', 'hdgfue', 'abc'], ['peep'], ['py', 'is', 'best'], ['sees', 'level', 'non', 'noon']]
The resultant list is :
[['py', 'is', 'best'], ['abcba', 'hdgfue', 'abc'], ['peep'], ['sees', 'level', 'non', 'noon']]

Explanation

• A method named ‘get_palindrome_count’ is defined that takes a list as parameter.

• List comprehension is used to iterate over the list and see if the element is a palindrome or not.

• If yes, it is returned.

• Outside the method, a list of list with string values is defined and is displayed on the console.

• The ‘sort’ method is used to sort the list based on the key being the previously defined method.

• This is displayed as the output on te console.
