Introduction
In Python, it is often necessary to compare two lists and find the elements that exist in both lists. This can be achieved by using list comprehension, a powerful feature of Python that allows us to create new lists based on existing lists.
List Similarity
Write a function similarity(a, b) that takes two lists a and b as arguments and returns a new list that contains only the elements that exist in both a and b.
To solve this problem, we can use list comprehension to iterate over the elements of a and check if they exist in b. If an element exists in both lists, we add it to a new list.
def similarity(a, b):
return [item for item in a if item in b]
similarity([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]) ## [1, 2]
Summary
In this challenge, you have learned how to find the similarity between two lists using list comprehension in Python. This is a useful technique that can be used in many different applications, such as data analysis and machine learning.
