Question

A somewhat similar question was asked on here but the answers did not help.

I have a list of lists, specifically something like..

[[tables, 1, 2], [ladders, 2, 5], [chairs, 2]]

It is meant to be a simple indexer.

I am meant to output it like thus:

tables 1, 2
ladders 2, 5
chairs 2

I can’t get quite that output though.

I can however get:

tables 1 2
ladders 2 5
chairs 2

But that isn’t quite close enough.

Is there a simple way to do what I’m asking? This is not meant to be the hard part of the program.

Answer 1

The following will do it:

for item in l:
  print item[0], ', '.join(map(str, item[1:]))

where l is your list.

For your input, this prints out

tables 1, 2
ladders 2, 5
chairs 2
