Python: Remove specific words from a given list using lambda

Python Lambda: Exercise-50 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove specific words from a given list using lambda.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

def remove_words(list1, remove_words):
    result = list(filter(lambda word: word not in remove_words, list1))
    return result
        
colors = ['orange', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'white', 'black']
remove_colors = ['orange','black']
print("Original list:")
print(colors)
print("\nRemove words:")
print(remove_colors)
print("\nAfter removing the specified words from the said list:")
print(remove_words(colors, remove_colors))

Sample Output:

Original list:
['orange', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'white', 'black']

Remove words:
['orange', 'black']

After removing the specified words from the said list:
['red', 'green', 'blue', 'white']
