Python: Filter the positive numbers from a list

Python Basic: Exercise-114 with Solution

Write a Python program to filter the positive numbers from a list.

Positive Numbers: Any number above zero is known as a positive number. Positive numbers are written without any sign or a '+' sign in front of them and they are counted up from zero, i.e. 1, + 2, 3, +4 etc.

Pictorial Presentation:

Filter the positive numbers from a list

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

nums = [34, 1, 0, -23, 12, -88]
print("Original numbers in the list: ",nums)
new_nums = list(filter(lambda x: x >0, nums))
print("Positive numbers in the said list: ",new_nums)

Sample Output:

Original numbers in the list:  [34, 1, 0, -23, 12, -88]
Positive numbers in the said list:  [34, 1, 12]

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

nums = [34, 1, 0, -23, 12, -88]
print("Original numbers in the list: ",nums)
print("Positive numbers in the said list: ")
for pos_nums in nums:
   if pos_nums > 0:
      print(pos_nums, end = " ")

Sample Output:

Original numbers in the list:  [34, 1, 0, -23, 12, -88]
Positive numbers in the said list: 
34 1 12

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")
