Python: Index of the first element, which is greater than a specified element using itertools module
Python Itertools: Exercise-39 with Solution
Write a Python program to get the index of the first element, which is greater than a specified element using itertools module.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
from itertools import takewhile
def first_index(l1, n):
return len(list(takewhile(lambda x: x[1] <= n, enumerate(l1))))
nums = [12,45,23,67,78,90,100,76,38,62,73,29,83]
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
n = 73
print("\nIndex of the first element which is greater than",n,"in the said list:")
print(first_index(nums,n))
n = 21
print("\nIndex of the first element which is greater than",n,"in the said list:")
print(first_index(nums,n))
n = 80
print("\nIndex of the first element which is greater than",n,"in the said list:")
print(first_index(nums,n))
n = 55
print("\nIndex of the first element which is greater than",n,"in the said list:")
print(first_index(nums,n))
Sample Output:
Original list: [12, 45, 23, 67, 78, 90, 100, 76, 38, 62, 73, 29, 83] Index of the first element which is greater than 73 in the said list: 4 Index of the first element which is greater than 21 in the said list: 1 Index of the first element which is greater than 80 in the said list: 5 Index of the first element which is greater than 55 in the said list: 3

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
