Question

I am trying to populate a list of 8 Ingredient objects using one list comprehension expression.
The code looks like that:

import random
ings = (('w1', 200, 25, 80),
   ('su1', 50, 55, 150),
   ('su2', 400, 100, 203),
   ('sy1', 10, 150, 355),
   ('sy2', 123, 88, 101),
   ('sy3', 225, 5, 30),
   ('sy4', 1, 44, 99),
   ('sy5', 500, 220, 300),)

class Ingredient: 
    def __init__(self, n, p, mi, ma):
        self.name = n
        self.price = p
        self.min = mi
        self.max = ma
        self.perc = random.randrange(mi, ma)

class Drink:
    def __init__(self): 
        self.ing = []

and i would like to obtain result equivalent to this:

self.ing = [Ingredient('w1', 200, 25, 80), Ingredient('su1', 50, 55, 150) ... 
(and so it goes for the ings tuple) ]

Now, my question is how to do it using LCE or if there is more optimal way of doing this (in terms of code readability or speed)?

Answer 1

[Ingredient(*ing) for ing in ings]
