How to use list comprehensions in Python for faster code

Every Wednesday in October we’ve been sharing our Spooky Movie Selector we created last year using Python. Today, we are going to share a Dev-Tip Tuesday shortcut within Python. List comprehensions For example if you write: new_list = [ ] for x in old_list: new_list.append(x * 2) You could instead write: new_list = [x * 2 for x in old_list] List comprehensions can make your code more readable and often run faster too. A small shortcut that adds up in larger scripts. What’s your favorite Python shortcut or trick that you find yourself using the most? Tune-in tomorrow as we share more from our Python Spooky Movie Selector! #Python #Coding #StructDevelopment #Developers #SoftwareDevelopment #ProgrammingTips #Coding #Tech
