# Python 3 code to demonstrate
# to remove elements present in other list
# using filter() + lambda

# initializing list
list1 = [1, 3, 4, 6, 7]

# initializing remove list
list2 = [3, 6]

# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(list1))

# printing remove list
print("The original list is : " + str(list2))

# using filter() + lambda to perform task
res = filter(lambda i: i not in list1, list2)

# printing result
print("The list after performing remove operation is : " + str(res))

Output-:
The original list is : [1, 3, 4, 6, 7]
The original list is : [3, 6]
The list after performing remove operation is : <filter object at 0x000001D5A0952FA0>


Expected output-:
The original list is : [1, 3, 4, 6, 7]
The original list is : [3, 6]
The list after performing remove operation is : [1, 4, 7]

What is the problem here? Why am I getting that error. I really can't wrap my head around this issue. I found this in website called geeksforgeeks and tried to run it.

the two lists are in the wrong places and to display the result you can transform the filter object into a list

res = list(filter(lambda i: i not in list2, list1))

print("The list after performing remove operation is : " + str(res))

OUTPUTS: The list after performing remove operation is : [1, 4, 7]

you need to change your filter functions argument. Your code should like this

list1 = [1, 3, 4, 6, 7]

# initializing remove list
list2 = [3, 6]

# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(list1))

# printing remove list
print("The original list is : " + str(list2))

# using filter() + lambda to perform task
res = list(filter(lambda i: i not in list2, list1))

print(list1)
print(list2)
print(res)

output of this code will be like this

The original list is : [1, 3, 4, 6, 7]
The original list is : [3, 6]
[1, 3, 4, 6, 7]
[3, 6]
[1, 4, 7]
