I have the following string:
"TTTHTHTTHTTTTHTTTHTTTTTTHTTTTTHTH"
I would like to be able to group by the T's into a list and then count the number of T's to the first H.
i.e. so like
[3, 1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 5, 1]
Whats the most efficient way to do this in python ?
Another approach using list comprehension :
my_string = "TTTHTHTTHTTTTHTTTHTTTTTTHTTTTTHTH"
strips = my_string.strip('H')
splits = strips.split('H' )
# generating iterables of 1 and then summation
my_list = [sum(1 for i in j) for j in splits]
print(my_list )
gives
[3, 1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 5, 1]
