Is there an elegant way how to pad the last sublist with zeroes while creating sublists from a list of integers?
So far I have this oneliner and need to fill the last sublist with 2 zeroes
[lst[x:x+3] for x in range(0, len(lst), 3)]
for example
lst =[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
result should be:
[1,2,3][4,5,6][7,8,9][10,0,0]
With itertools.zip_longest, consuming the same iterator created off of the list, and fill in the missing values as 0 :
[[*i] for i in itertools.zip_longest(*[iter(lst)] * 3, fillvalue=0)]
Example:
In [1219]: lst =[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
In [1220]: [[*i] for i in itertools.zip_longest(*[iter(lst)] * 3, fillvalue=0)]
Out[1220]: [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 0, 0]]
Without itertools:
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
print([lst[x:x+3]+[0]*(x-len(lst)+3) for x in range(0, len(lst), 3)])
Prints:
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 0, 0]]
