Question

Hey im new to python. How do you get a portion of a list by the relative value of its sorting key.

example…

list = [11,12,13,14,15,16,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
list.sort()
newList = list.split("all numbers that are over 13")
assert newList == [14,15,16]

Answer 1

>>> l = [11,12,13,14,15,16,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
>>> sorted(x for x in l if x > 13)
[14, 15, 16]

or with filter (would be a little bit slower if you have big list, because of lambda)

>>> sorted(filter(lambda x: x > 13, l))
[14, 15, 16]
