Question

Given the list (listEx) in the following code, I am trying to separate the string and integer and float types, and put them all in their own respective lists. If I want to extract strings only from listEx list, the program should go through listEx, and put the strings in a new list called strList and then print it out to the user. Similarly for integer and float types as well. But if I can just figure out the correct way to do just one, I’ll be fine for the others. So far no luck, been at this for an hour now.

listEx = [1,2,3,'moeez',2.0,2.345,'string','another string', 55]
strList=['bcggg'] 

for i in listEx:
    if type(listEx) == str:
        strList = listEx[i]
        print strList[i]
    if i not in listEx:
        break
    else:
        print strList

for i in strList:
    if type(strList) == str:
        print "This consists of strings only"
    elif type(strList) != str:
        print "Something went wrong"
    else:
        print "Wow I suck"

Answer 1

integers = filter(lambda x: isinstance(x,int), listEx)

strings = filter(lambda x: isinstance(x,str), listEx)

and so on…
