Question

If I have string like "combination.py", I want to get the following result using Python:

["com" , "omb", "mbi", "bin", "ina", "nat" , "ati" , "tio", "ion", "on.", "n.p" , ".py"]

I have something that is working quite good, but it’s a really long code, so I’m looking for something short and beautiful. 🙂

Thanks

Answer 1

>>> s = "combination.py" 
>>> [s[i:i+3] for i in range(len(s)-2)]
['com', 'omb', 'mbi', 'bin', 'ina', 'nat', 'ati', 'tio', 'ion', 'on.', 'n.p', '.py']

It is indeed a good habit to look for something “short and beautiful”. Python is quite apt at this. 🙂
